I will ask the same question, but for a different reason— non-DSLR cameras are just becoming obsolete. Go to any touristy place, and you'll see more people using smartphones (and surprisingly, tablets) than point&shoot.
No teenager today would want to buy a p&s when they can use their phone, which produces similar (or better) image quality and already has apps/sharing/etc.
- ars 14y agoThere is no way a phone can make an image of comparable quality to a reasonable p&s. Just the size of the lens and imaging element alone should tell you that.
- GuiA 14y agoI enjoy photography a lot, and own a m4/3, a DSLR, and an iPhone 4S, several film cameras and polaroids. Most of my "everyday" shots (ie. shots of friends and family at events, etc.) are taken with my iPhone. It performs better than would be desirable in all situations. That's what people care about.
- ars 14y agoThe most difficult situation I find for a camera is taking a picture of people on a stage in poor lighting. They are far away, so your telephoto cuts down the light, and it's too far for a flash. That's my test for a camera. Any camera can do well in good lighting, or with a flash. But take a picture in poor lighting and see how well it does. This http://campl.us/posts/iPhone-Camera-Comparison http://campl.us/posts/iPhone-Camera-Comparison finds that an S95 in ISO 32000 is equivalent to an iPhone 4S in ISO 80. That's a pretty dramatic difference.
