The BS is this post is really strong.

I mean its all about manual exposure and shizz..does normal sub rm1000 got that kind of ability?

I drive ferrari u drive golf drive straight line i probably win big time.

Jack of all trade master of none?

Images below are taken with sub RM 1,000 smartphone which is the ASUS Zenfone 3 Max. Yes, a phone, not a camera.

And these photos (of course with some post-processing) were submitted to Shutterstock, well known stock photo site with strict QC.

Only images with sufficient image quality and commercial value (composition most) will be accepted.

Manual exposure? Nope, all these images were taken on AUTO (camera default).

Will I use smartphone camera for professional purpose? No, I won't BUT the above just tells you that IF you know your gear and work within its limitations and IF you know your craft - you can produce good stuff even with your smartphone camera.

No need to argue so much, if you think a DSLR alone or a big sensor camera alone is enough to get the job done - go ahead, try submitting your photos to Shutterstock.

Also if you think smartphones are so good - you're dreaming, no way can it match DSLR. You put on Facebook sure looks nice, everything small and whatever but smartphones are VERY limited. Even with the best of my skill and ability I wouldn't bank on smartphone to get the job done unless there's really no other option.

Very simple - I'm referring to image quality + composition.

They've rejected my photos taken with DSLR at ISO 400 before, they have all sorts of reason for rejection.

You're correct that they will accept pictures that seem "stocky" with commercial value but you'll have to note that they're really strict.

A picture of a tennis ball with white background may not be astounding in composition BUT it has to meet their requirement for IQ.

Noise - they'll reject
They think insufficient DOF or focusing wrong area - they'll reject
Exposure not to their liking - they'll reject.

The following were the reasons of reject that I've encountered

But then you are losing out a lot of resolution so what's the point? 

By the way no offence but I wonder what kind of shots do you think are high standard?

Yes different reviewers, not guarantee pass.

If only focusing is so easy, these guys pixel peep.

When your focus is off, it's visible even when you resize. The foreground or background clearly sharper than the subject.

DOF also you can't fool around, it's not something you can easily fix on post.
This is correct.

Unfortunately there aren't any critique sites around, I created one last time but response was poor.

Even those competition sites, that also you have to pay them quite a lot just to send pics. Feedback no guarantee, often not helpful too.

However the point of my using of Shutterstock is simple, it's not to say those are great pics or award winning pics. It's just showing that smartphone camera is capable of reasonable image quality and color control that is able to pass the stringent requirement of stock photography sites.

Well my post is about the subject "> Sub rm1000 camera (new) but with dslr quality, Exist or not?"
