Yeah, try more like the 90s. The earliest digital cameras (think Apple Quicktake) took better shots than even the 3DS.

- lapetitejort 3y agoThe best digital camera looks leagues better than the DSi camera, but the DSi camera was the only camera some kids have in the early 2010s, hence the comparison. "The best camera is the one you have on you."
- earthboundkid 3y agoI was in my 20s then and owned a “real” digital camera, but I loved how lofi the DSi camera was, so I used it as my EDC basically until a few years after I got an iPhone. It was low res and crap at the time, but low res is cool!
- AshamedCaptain 3y agoThe point is that even by 2010 standards the DSi camera was utter garbage, with no-name webcams on cheap netbooks being better. It's not that the best digital camera would be miles better than the DSi, it's that a bad digital camera from the previous decade would be miles better than it. Therefore, hardly representative.
