Why take pictures with a camera when the mobile phone is so convenient?

Nowadays, the functions of mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful, especially the mobile phone manufacturers have made great efforts in the camera function of mobile phones. The combination of mobile phone photography and sharing is more convenient and close, and mobile phones have indeed replaced some cameras to a great extent. Since the mobile phone has10 million to 20 million pixels, and it is very convenient to carry around, why use a camera, or even spend thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan to buy a camera to take pictures?

The picture quality of the camera is better.

On this issue, first of all, we need to know that pixels are not equal to image quality. At present, mobile phone photography still can't meet the pursuit of higher image quality. In addition, although the mainstream of mobile phones are160,000 pixels and many products with 20 million pixels, the fundamental difference between the image quality of mobile phones and cameras is directly related to the size of photosensitive elements.

At present, the sensor size of mainstream mobile phones on the market is basically around 1/2.3 inches. The larger the sensor size, the better the image quality. Although there are 1/2.3 inch camera products, there are also APS-C format and even medium format camera products to choose from. For example, the newly released Fuji X-T 100 micro camera is equipped with APS-C CMOS photosensitive elements, and the image resolution and noise control at high sensitivity are much better than those of mobile phones, not to mention the fantastic shallow depth of field brought by large-size sensors, that is, the background blur effect.

Choose more camera lenses and have better quality.

Although the mobile phone now focuses on two or even three shots, in the final analysis, it is still a fixed lens scheme, mainly due to the compromise of the shape of the mobile phone. The camera is different. Even a camera with a fixed lens, such as Fuji's X 100F, not only has a large aperture, but also can be adjusted manually. Like some telephoto cameras, 20X and 30X optical zoom is even more important. What's unique is that for models with interchangeable lenses such as SLR and non-reflex, we can replace lenses with different focal lengths and different apertures on the fuselage to meet our needs for shooting distance and background blur. Moreover, some camera manufacturers with profound optical background have more lenses, just like Fuji X-T 100 can be matched with dozens of Fuji Dragon lenses with different specifications, which can be used to shoot landscapes, portraits and animal movements. I think this is the most important reason why we still need to take pictures with cameras.

The camera is more professional

After all, the mobile phone is a communication tool, not a special camera tool, so it is far from professional in use. You may encounter a sudden pop-up message during shooting, a phone call interrupting your shooting, or you may consume a lot of light and electricity because you use your mobile phone to take pictures for a long time. As the saying goes, there is specialization in the art. If taking pictures is a serious matter, cameras are still the first choice.

Secondly, many photographers just enjoy the feeling of picking up the camera and shooting with the viewfinder, which is incomparable when you pick up the phone and click the shoot button. The viewfinder is like a window to observe the world. When you take a serious view and make a composition, the feeling of watching calmly or eagerly is the unique experience brought by the camera. In addition, the camera also has a variety of rich dials and buttons to help you complete the shooting better, which can't be experienced on the mobile phone.

Generally speaking, mobile phones will really affect the camera market and specific people, but at least they can't replace cameras at present, which will only make their demand for taking pictures more clear. Real photographers and people who like photography will still choose cameras, and at the same time, they can make photos more and more return to their original heart.
