For $1500, you could buy an AMAZING full-frame Canon EOS RP with the 24-240 zoom lens (http://sdp.io/rp)… or a smartphone.

Real camera are uncomparable with phones
Phones is for newbies who want to take little photo but without real techniques
I think he nailed it in the pricing. IF you are planning to spend $500 on a camera, get a better phone camera. IF you were planning to spend $2500 on a camera, then get a camera.
You simply won't get a better camera for cheap casual shooting than a phone. And a phone (currently) won't meet the specialty needs of most pro photographers.
The real issue is more about how the content is being watched. Yes the camera has 8k resolution, but be honest, how many of your views are on a phone? A laptop? iPad? How many people are watching it in 480 because their network sucks? The wide majority of viewers won't even be able to see the difference. And most of the ones who can won't care.
I like to say "Image quality rarely dictates the quality of an image." A well timed shot from a phone will beat a missed shot from a "better" camera every single time.
cameras have been great for over a century and they'll never get beaten
Your links doesn't work
Im glad pro cameras are still the best. I definitely would get the best phone with camera but I will also get a pro cameras
I have a Samsung a13 g5 phone
They should be separate because I don't like people that want to call you or text you why I'm using the camera….. It's annoying to the Is capital A
A point worth mentioning is that before the creation of cell phones, there was a small number of hardcore dedicated photographers world wide. You now have at least 90% of the world population who have become hardcore dedicated photographers without realizing it, all because of cell phones, and the scary thing is, we had no choice in the matter.
As funny as it is, it's not fair to add things like apps and software to a "photography" comparison. A camera doesn't need to be able to run Google Docs.
Nice sandbagging the video.
What you're not seeing is how much that lenses worth probably $900
Smartphones have more blows and whistles… That are less important in taking great pictures (e.g., bluetooth, cloud backup etc.)
But the real cameras can do that too. The manufacturers just haven't decided to do it yet.
Camera win.
Another point for the phone is it processes the picture for you. Wish expensive cameras had the option for those lazy days.
In landscape and sunlight group or selfie phone cameras are real threat to digital camera. And 90 percent of time people click those pics .
The sensor size on a camera is what makes it truly better. And the bigger lenses but that was mentioned.
Amount of available light is the key. The smaller the sensor the greater the advantage it has over large sensors in many ways. The amount of light necessary for a good exposure is directly proportional to the size of the sensor and film format . Cell phone sensors vary between 25 and 43mm2 , full frame sensors are 864mm2. That is full frame sensors are between 20 and 34.5 times larger than cell phone sensors, and if the pixels are of similar characteristics require between 20 and 34.5 times more light to produce correct exposure.
To increase the amount of light is without artificial means impossible, with artificial means as reflectors and strobes it is time consuming, requires lugging around equipment, can be very expensive and is an art in itself.
To decrease the amount of light is very simple by any number of means including stopping down the lens and using neutral density filters.
So small sensors as small film formats need a lot less light to get the same depth of field, produce similar grain, colour quality and control of aberrations. Since most photography is done with natural light a small sensor wins every time. It has all the light it needs without needing to resort to flash and artificial lighting. To try to clarify even further, 8X10 inch studio cameras with their incredibly sharp and super colour images need 8000 watts strobes, that is considerably brighter light than direct sun light, to get the same depth of field and take the same advantage of the film (or sensor) , as a cell phone camera would need in a cloudy day.
The other extremely important consideration is summed up in the old saying "The best camera is the one you have with you" which nowadays is of course your phone.
The only really big advantages a DSLR and quality zoom point and shoot cameras are much greater zoom and a Viewfinder, a view finder allows one to totally concentrate on the image without horrible distractions from everything around you and all sorts of reflections that sometimes even make the image on the screen of a phone invisible.
I'm waiting for a cell phone with a small pop-up view finder.
Funny how Tony dosent dare reply to any of the comments made…lol, I can't see the benefit of these comparisons, yes smart phones are useful, convenient and fun, BUT the majority of people who watch T&C posts are either pros or serious enthusiasts and know there can be no compassion.
There is no comparison to a phone. 1. You can not place a dslr in your pocket. 2. Most people that take pictures with their phone are just going to take a picture and share it in social media or just store it in their phone for memories. Avoid thinking too much as a photographer when taking pictures with a phone
If you're actual photographers, why not sell all your gear and just use whatever smartphone you think is the best? After all, it's about the finished photo and not the gear, right? I would say if your goal was to hurt camera manufacturers and help Samsung/Apple phone sales, you seem to be doing a good job. Maybe they will start paying you show how much 'better' smartphone cameras are to traditional cameras? Good for your pockets, probably not so much for the art itself.
I would love to see how well a smart phone can be used with flash or strobe light photography. OH wait. they can't and lighting is half the secret to great photos, HMMMM
Video= phone
Picture= camera.
Ok. 👍
female trucker here !! good video thanks!!
devicetracking is not a plus
