Iphones are known for their prestige cameras, but when you compare them to a DLSR, how good are iPhone
cameras really? Sam Byford, in the tech magazine The Verge, writes How does a Iphone Camera Hold up Against a Serious Camera, and finds the differences between the two cameras are the different lenses you can use and the different settings on the camera.
The biggest advantage of having a DLSR is you have interchangeable lenses. You can have one body, but you can put a zoom lens, a wide angle, or a standard lens on it. With and Iphone you only have one “lens” or perspective. With a zoom lens, you can take a photo of a subject that is 100 meters away and it will seem like you were 10 feet from it. When you use a wide angle lens, it will make you subject look bigger and everything else around it will look smaller and out of focus. On an iphone, you can’t put different lenses on.You can only zoom in as much as you can move your feet.
It seems easy to take a photo on an iphone because it adjusts the lighting, the shutter and the aperture for you. But there are actually many disadvantages to that. Since you have no control over the shutter, when you take a photo of a moving subject, it will often turn out blurry. But on a DLSR, you can set your shutter speed up to 1/8000th of second. You can also adjust your F-stop. Which is basically your depth of field. You can make the background behind your subject as blurry or as clear as you want. None of these are accessible on an iphone.
How has the style of film making changed over time?
I really liked how you went into detail with what exactly is better about a DSLR camera. For next time it would be cool to research is iPhones would be able to add some of these features to their camera in the future.
