Why do you seldom see people taking pictures with digital cameras now?

Nowadays, it is rare to see someone taking pictures with a digital camera, just as few people carry a music player with them to listen to songs. Walkman has been replaced by mobile phones, and now mobile phones are gradually replacing digital cameras.

Most card cameras are a thing of the past. Card cameras with small cmos zoom lenses are almost extinct now. Most of the cameras still in use are high-end models. SLR, micro-single and high-end card machines still have some user groups, especially photographers, photographers and journalists. High-end interchangeable lens camera is still an indispensable tool, and ordinary people rarely take a bigger camera to take pictures, even in various scenic spots.

The demise of cameras, especially consumer cameras, is nothing more than the following factors:

All-in-one product is the development trend.

Music playing, communication, photographing and even office functions are all concentrated on one portable device, which is the general trend of digital product development, and mobile phones have become the carrier of this comprehensive performance. Mobile phone is a necessary tool for people. It can not only make phone calls and send messages, but also integrate many functions such as taking photos, playing videos and playing music. Such multifunctional products can meet the public's demand for photography, and people don't need to bring a camera to take pictures. Judging from the usage habits, the mobile phone has won a great victory.

Most ordinary people don't care about high standards of photography.

Although cameras have many advantages over mobile phones in photographic performance and image quality, they don't care for ordinary people. They only care about ease of use, just take a clear picture. As for the professional performance of photography, such as latitude, focusing speed, manual exposure setting, high-speed continuous shooting and the effect of different focal lengths, they don't just need it. They just need to be able to shoot it and use it easily. This market demand is the same as the previous portable card machine, and the mobile phone has just reached the performance and image quality. Of course, if you have professional or high-quality photography needs, you still need a camera, but 90% of ordinary people use mobile phones.

Photography is a niche hobby.

As a hobby, photography has a small audience. Because photography gives people the feeling that it is expensive and complicated, although digital products are no longer tall, there are still few people who pursue this hobby, and most of them are not photographers. Just like ordinary people just listen to music, only a few enthusiasts pursue the ultimate sound quality, and so does photography.

Based on the above factors, cameras are returning to the role of professional tools rather than mass consumer goods, so we see that fewer and fewer people are still using cameras, while most ordinary people can meet the demand as long as they take pictures with their smartphones.

Because most photography is not professional photography, it does not prevent you from having very professional photographic equipment.

It seems that more people shoot vlog with digital cameras. Otherwise, how can there be so many brands of camera stabilizers produced and sold? Mobile phone photography can't replace the camera.
