if you are into photography, you do not need to ask such questions

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

those who say iphone can can bungkus dslr seriously knows shit about dslr.......
there are way more things that can be done on dslr that cant be done on a iphone cam.....

for point n snap, casual photos i do giv credit to iphone for doing a neat job....other than that...meh...

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

ts hulu never own any dslr that's why donno

it's like astrophotography, u dont think that 1 image give u the milky way lel

what is PQ, party quest? lol why u so mad. u post an obvious bait thread and expect ppl to reply seriously to you? in kopitiam ?

now now dont get so upset. it's like those stupid audiophiles, they think CD is the big thing but eventually become outdated as digital high bitrate becomes widely available. You will have your day in the sun, it just won't be as soon as you think.

The dslr user quite fail... If able to lose to iPhone in catching moving objects (page 7,8,9)

Anyway nowadays it's not so much about Image quality already, all the users also viewing on phones and tablet, hard to see much difference. In fact with emergence of mobile devices, the preferred format of videos now are going vertical too..  camera phones trumps in this age because of the ecosystem, it connects to your phone which has a cloud, has post processing apps, links to social media, etc. the experience is constantly evolving unlike the dslr which may try to do the same but ends up clunky

it's not wrong to dream,

just like vios dreaming of becoming a ferrari

both can run quite well on a perfect line at a short distance.

One reach 5 minutes earlier, the other 5 minutes later.

Not much difference, eh?

I'm not saying it's wrong to use iPhone as your main camera. You don't get to lose too much in terms of picture quality if you take pictures casually. I mean, heck, the camera app is well written and the coloring of the photo is amazing!

But when you wanna go up the big stage, you get the big gun. Low light? Long shutter speed? Depth? Cannon length lens? List goes on and on in terms of the advantage of using full-fledged camera.

Yes, undeniably, phone camera is really portable and mobile and a one-stop solution for many things. So, it's situational. I don't really think phone camera can really replace those big ass cameras in terms of quality.

Usability? That's a check.

triumphed over in terms of number of units in the market? Certainly.

Triumphed over in terms of value? maybe. Yeah.

Triumphed over in terms of portability and usability? Definitely.

Triumphed over in terms of quality? I don't know. Maybe. They need to overcome the physical limitation first.

Your assumptions are fair and reflected my opinions too.

But my insta mostly following a/c like Sony Russia, Canon, Nikon, etc. LOL.

Just cause its capable doesnt mean evryone can emulate the same result..dont think anyone can take d same result without a specific setups n post processing and multiple exposure edits..u think evryone in the masses can do that..

A lot of the iconic photos, are taken during times of war, famine, natural disasters etc, where there is scarce food, shelter let alone electricity. Hence the use of simple mechanical film cameras. In these conditions, the iPhone would be dead and useless in two days. If you turn on the iPhone for that "one in a million shot" in a war zone, the screen will light up, and you would be dead.

because iphone cannot zoom

it is at focal length 28mm
