I'd argue that cameras don't really ever go obsolete, given the artistic nature of photography (as long as you can get the image out of the camera and onto a medium). Any great photo that you've ever admired was take on either previous or current generation gear.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoIn my eyes a camera is obsolete as soon as the average phone can take a photo as good. My parents got a $300 sony camera recently but other than zoom, I just can't see why you would carry it around when your phone takes the same photo.
- fomine3 6y agoI assume some $300 range cameras has sensor that same (or less) size to $600 smartphones.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoThey are almost entirely pointless in my opinion I'm not sure why they even sell low end cameras anymore. The only potential benefit I see is the software allows a lot more manual control but it also doesn't have as good automatic improvements that phone software has.
- fomine3 6y agoEven though a sensor is poor, it has better form factor, better zoom, and it's dedicated device.
- Jaxan 6y agoThe battery typically lasts for weeks. This is something we cannot say at all for phones...
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoWell I already have my phone charged at all times. I guess it might be a benefit if you have to take photos all day but in that case you would be investing in a much better camera than this consumer level one. For video recording I found this sony one could only manage an hour on a full charge.
