    Did you pull this out of 2011? Even as a lifelong Android user with no plans of switching, I realize that there are certain features of the Apple ecosystem that blow Android out of the water. Even the top-line Samsung S23U photo processing looks like a shitty DSLR compared to whatever iPhone is out now.

        Not sure why they used this term. A DSLR is a camera most often used by professionals in the industry.

        Digital single lense reflex cameras, such as the Canon 5d Mk IV, are still excellent cameras that outperform their smaller sensored counterparts in phones.

        This said, many like myself have moved on to mirrorless in recent years. I’m not sure I miss anything other than the satisfying “click” from my DSLR’s.

      Idk in the comparison between Pixel 8 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro i actually much prefer the Pixel, but maybe that’s just my taste.

      ehh cameras are basically on-par now

      the processors on the other hand…no competition by FAR both on phones and laptops. sadly there’s too many downsides for me to consider getting them

      So, as a professional, working photographer I can tell you this comment makes no sense to me.

      I’ve only bought two Samsung phones over the last ten years, but they have never failed to make the best mobile phone camera since I started keeping track in 2013.

      It seems like you’re talking specifically about processing, so perhaps that’s the hangup here… I focus on RAW, and use other specialty services to process. You can never go wrong with Samsung (so far) if you want to best potential RAW image.

      Even a shitty (okay, maybe most like my D5300) DSLR beats any phone with proper lenses any day.

        Yeah that’s bullshit.

        Hand Joe Sixpack a high-end DSLR (or MILC, since it’s 2023) and an iPhone and I’ll bet you he’ll take better pictures with the iPhone.

        What dedicated cameras do is give you more options; you can change lenses, add filters, change exposure, etc. You have much more creative control. Sure, you also get better optics but that doesn’t matter much in the hands of an amateur.

        Phones do a shitload of processing on the captured images. A DSLR does little to nothing. You are expected to do that yourself on your computer afterwards (again, more creative control where the phone makes those decisions for you).

        The automated processing on phones does an excellent job for the kind of snapshots an average user wants to make. Much better than what they would be able to do themselves.

        If you know what you’re doing you can do amazing things with a DSLR/MILC but in the hands of the general public the phone will give much better results 100% of the time.

        A good camera doesn’t make great pictures, a good photographer does. Don’t buy an expensive camera thinking your pictures will suddenly look amazing. They will look much worse than the pictures your phone makes until you learn how to properly use it and how to process those images.
