Cherish the Little Moments of Life with a Digital Camera
There are events, moments in life that are precious to you, things you would like to remember when your hair turns gray and look back at when you have the time. Or you are going on an adventure, with epic angles and stunning shots to be taken around every corner. A device that allows you to achieve all these objectives would be the digital camera.
But you might ask yourself, do I really need a separate digital camera when I have this perfectly functional built-in camera within my smartphone? You would be right to pose such a question, but here are some facts you might want to consider before answering that question:
Smartphone cameras are very competent at capturing static subjects in good lighting conditions but average in any other situation. On the flip side, capturing artistic shots of moving subjects in varying and challenging lighting conditions is what digital cameras excel at.
The sensors in smartphone cameras are tiny compared to a digital camera, and this makes a pronounced difference in the quality of images captured by the two devices. The amount of details captured via a digital camera is leagues better than that captured from a smartphone camera.
Another fundamental issue with smartphone cameras is the absence of optical zoom capabilities due to the form factor of the smartphone casing. Digital zoom functionalities have come a long way, and some high-end phones come with some optical zoom capability. But, this is still no comparison to the optical zooming ability on a digital camera.
A smartphone is a complex device with algorithms running everything, including the camera and the preprocessing of captured images. You, as a User, have little control over these algorithms, and for a good reason. In cases where you want more manual control over the pictures you capture, a digital camera is your best bet.
Up until this point, the word "smartphone" in this article has been referring to the whole category. Individual smartphones are priced in a range, and generally, the costlier the phone is, the better its camera system is. This means that the gorgeous pictures on social media claimed to be taken on a smartphone may be taken using one priced at twice that of yours.
The biggest plus for the smartphone camera, its saving grace is its convenience. A camera of good enough quality that is ever-present at an arm's length is a very compelling proposition. This, up against the digital camera, a specialized tool that requires technical knowledge and extra care, brings the balance to equilibrium for most everyday Users.
So, armed with these facts, the decision is yours to make. Do you want a tool that captures pictures with great detail and realism, with you being the one controlling your shots?
