The thing with small len,is cannot get shallow depth of field.
24-30 MP picture quality for poster, billboard and a lot more.

You try use iPhone now to shoot night video with high ISO, see how much noise it generated?

If stand alone camera can solve everything, why still need DSLR or even Mirrorless

Ya, imagine DSLR can just take 1 -3 shot and merge to become 1 billboard picture

But take with iPhone 6, maybe require to take 3x the amount and merge it to match the resolution =)

thread is so fucking cringe-worthy, arguing that one day phone cameras will completely annihilate professional gears lol effing wutt??

I can see this coming into a total realization if you're one to associate yourself as a fucking pleb lmao, there's a reason why they are called professional gears to begin with.

Here's a case study for you, tablets vs laptops. Go figure what happened to that war and come back here if you got any valid points for your already-doomed argument.

butthurt nyaaaaa

why should i be the one to tell your mustard ass for whom and what you are against?

Here's what i can tell for now, what was presented in the first post might be true but it hardly makes your argument strong enough.

so butthurt so its clear to say u never capture any picture with FF dslr, and thats why u suggested so in ur title?  dont open a thread la if cant stand criticism, u think when u open a thread ppl will always worship u? what a retard

so butthurt so its clear to say u never capture any picture with FF dslr, and thats why u suggested so in ur title?  dont open a thread la if cant stand criticism, u think when u open a thread ppl will always worship u? what a retard
so i dont agree with ur own words of suggestion, why u butthurt? stupid enough to go MONTESSORI?

i think u are full of shit, read ur first post retard, u did ask its time to throw standalone camera

dont go full retard, even if u are full retard

lol TS clearly didnt ever capture picture using any  of full frame dslr

if u ever take picture with FF DSLR u wont compare it with iphone, and u will not ever suggest to throw standalone camera. and only stupid like u will ask such question, and only a retard like u will butthurt over ur own stupidity.

Explain why im the ignant one here who oh so refused to see things in many perspectives despite acknowledging your point.

My only gripe is that your argument lacks merit, there's almost zero substance. What im saying is you need to try harder to come up with more stuff, you cant just surge into a battlefield with just one bullet cant you?

To make such bold statement either u r a lousy photographer with dslr or u never use a dslr before. At the end of the day its the man behind the lens that matters.

To take those wonderful shots with iphone on billboards are famous photographer who know exactly what is the strength of the camera and take the shot. They didnt use it to take pictures that show weakness of a camera phone like potraits, extra wide landscape, moving subjects or dark environment. These photographers can squeeze out 100% potential out of the device they have. Try search youtube for "pro photog with cheap camera" by Digitalrev.

There are many dslr users who are just lousy. Shooting in auto mode might as well use compact cam or phone. But you can't generalize all dslr users like that.

It all depends on what you want. U want portability and simple to use then camera phone. U want high quality picture in high res then dslr. If u just want to  selfie, instagram or fb the photo, iphone is good enough to view on portable device. If u want to pixel peep or bokeh then dslr. There is market for both segment. Iphone can never replace dslr but replace compact camera is a true fact. Mirrorless taking over dslr market share is also very true as well but will not replace totally.

At the end of the day, the best camera is the camera that is with u when u wAnt to take that shot

Reason why a phone can never overtake a DSLR, like i hinted before many a times, is a matter of professionals vs casuals. Right now way i see it you are standing up as a casual user, failing to oversee things from a much broader perspective. When you imply that DSLRs and other professional gears will become redundant, you're being dismissive as hell. We're talking an entire industry here, people who not just take it up as a hobby, but as a serious profession.

Compacts and full-fledged photography gears (like DSLR) are different entities, compacts can still be considered as casual device, despite being a single purpose-built gadget.

Oh and i feel like i should tell you that im no professional photographer, im just a person who provides his input on this whole situation.

Yes, im with you in saying that Apple has managed to influence the whole game in more prominent ways just like how they did it with the introduction of Apple Store,iTunes and iPhones. More people are snapping pictures, taking photos are no longer an activity exclusive to people with cameras which at one point considered to be a very expensive thing. Making photography more approachable has taken social life into a whole new level. These are all outstanding merits which is why i believe Apple is deserving of all the praises they have gathered so far.

But will camera phones overtake professional gears someday? no and they never will. But why should a competition exist in the first place? they are both entities that compliments each other, as opposed to some opinions out here that demands that only one will survive. This is not a deathmatch, it does not have to be.
