Nowadays, it seems like the biggest things that smartphone companies are working on and striving to improve are the cameras and be the best smartphone camera system on the market. Its rare to find a phone that only have one camera because companies are adding as many cameras as possible to their phone, all providing different focal lengths and serve a different purpose. Every tech review I watch about a new smartphone, its the camera’s performance that ends up taking up majority of the review.

Now, you even have professional photographers who have given up their DSLR camera’s and specifically shoot on their phone and nothing else. And it works great! Smartphones are able to capture DSLR quality images, they are able to edit right from the phone and share it to family, friends, and people all over the world in just a few taps. Its a much more simplified and easy process, especially compared to DSLR’s. Instead, with a DSLR, you have to take the photos, go home, transfer files, edit files, export and organize them and then finally they are ready to share. Clearly, smartphones are much easier to use.

I think that this is great! But it is not for me.
