Truth be told, for most scenarios a high end phone _does_ produce better pictures than an interchangeable lens camera without specialized lighting setup. Take a pic of a landscape or a person with the latest iPhone and the result is often better than what you see with your own eyes. And I’ve been shooting with various dslrs for the last 20 years plus. Can I get better results with pro gear? Sure. But not with zero effort. Half of my large print outs are from iPhone.
- jiggawatts 2y agoA large part of this is HDR that “just works”, versus the broken mess in every other scenario. A case in point: Lightroom on iOS can process an RAW photo with HDR grading and even export it in any of three HDR formats… none of which can be opened on iOS. My Nikon camera can take HEIF photos like an iPhone (with HDR), and transfer it to my iPhone with an app, but the files are non-standard in a way that the iPhone can’t actually be used to share them with anyone, making this a frustrating non-feature. It’s just incredible how broken HDR still is in 2024. PS: Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, a professional HDR colorist application added native HDR output just last week! My previous iPhone had this for nearly a decade now.

That’s what I’d do if I was in their shoes - there’s no reason why a full frame dslr has to take worse pictures than a phone in any conceivable case
