Is a smartphone camera just as good as a DSLR or Mirrorless Camera?

- As convenient as the camera in your pocket may be, a smartphone camera isn't capable of performing as well as a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Sure, a smartphone camera can look fantastic if you're taking a photo of something up close with minimal difference between the darkest and brightest spots in the image. Additionally, built-in portrait modes can make you feel like your phone's image is BETTER than your camera's, but don't let that fool you. A DSLR or mirrorless camera will ALWAYS beat out a smartphone camera.
A full-sized camera has a much larger sensor, which benefits you in two ways:
First, the larger sensor will perform much better in shooting conditions with high dynamic range. As landscape photographers, this happens often whenever the sky is in your image. A larger sensor means you'll be able to bring back shadow and highlight detail much easier without losing quality quite as much as you'd see in a smartphone camera.
Second, DSLR and mirrorless cameras generally have more megapixels. While you certainly don't need the 60+ megapixels boasted by a few of the top cameras today, it can be nice to have a few extra megapixels when you want to print or heavily crop your image.
Even though technology is improving, I just don't see how smartphone cameras will ever be able to keep up with DSLR and mirrorless cameras unless the smartphone's size is increased. That being said, the best camera is the one you have with you, and you should certainly grab those shots with your smartphone if you don't have a camera available!

It does when one is not educated in photography. It's good enough for them. I'll stick to my SLR.
👍
This has a catch. Phones can do automatic HDR shots with a lot of stacking instantly. Camera has to do it manually in post. So the perceived DR may seem higher on the phone actually.
It`s the dynamic range you get in one shot. For example you cant take HDR images with your phone of a moving object.
True, if you want it done easily, a phone might work better.
I broke my DSLR. Then i buy iphone. Cause say it have a good camera as they say. But when i use it. My samsung did more good shot than shitty i phone.
And i ended buying a new camera. All i can say to you all phoenatiks even a thousand dollar phone can't beat the quality of the hundred dollar camera.🫠
Many cameras can actually do HDR in-camera
A camera has hdr mode too. You will cry. How good a bigger sensor can do.😉 inshort you know nothing.😉
The tiny sensor and lenses in a phone camera cannot compete with a large sensor with good lenses.
I would agree!
The boy forgot to tell that a smartphone takes around 6 to 8 pictures at an instant the moment you press the button. Those pictures get blended into a single photo without you even noticing. The result? High dynamic range.
For serious pictures, a large camera still wins. But their time is counted, too…
Sure!
Can't forgot that smartphones usually has a digital zoom, while the interchangeable lens allows for a true optical zoom
This is true!
I mean a lot of situations even cameras have to exposure bracket whereas a phone can do it instantly. I’m a mirrorless shooter myself but dynamic range isn’t always the selling point especially for the inexperienced.
True, the phone is easier to use with automated features.
which is the best lightweight camera for very good photography even on low light i hate those heavy bulks hard to carry.
I love my Sony a7r4, I think the A7C is even lighter tho!
In my experience, phones fail horribly at capturing moving objects.
True! This is because they automatically choose the shutter speed which is often too slow, resulting in a blurry subject. There is apps you can use to control your settings on the phone but I’d still much prefer a camera.
Finally someone explains the real issue to this new generation believing with a smartphone they can make great photos or videos, But the blame lies with Apple, Samsung and all the phone makers who tell youth heyyy buy my phone and you won't need a camera and lens that costs $4,000 to do professional work. this is my face 🙄 Everything is money for that brands. Thank you buddy for to be honest with your subscribers and explain the real workd outside 👏👏👏
👍👍
Zoom into a smartphone photo even a little bit, and the quality goes down hill very rapidly. A lower res photo from a larger sensor will have better texture compared to a higher res smartphone photo.
Agreed!!
Some phones are now sporting 1" sensors which I like, but even that can't touch the quality micro 4/3s let alone apcs and ff
Agreed!
Dynamic range... And quality glass options!
💯
Should have take this video side by side with an iPhone SE 3G and see who's background is more colorful
😂😂
Taking photos with a camera rather then a phone is imo also way more fun
True!
If you can afford it, maybe own both
Sure!
Like S24 Ultra can shoot in High Dynamic Range unlike iPhone. I saw this while i was switching from 15 pro max. 1" sensor is the biggest on S24 Ultra. I was team Apple for years, but if you can please make a video about it. Test which is better. S24 Ultra and your camera. S24 Ultra is great stuff and it probably will be better in things like nightography, astrophotography and others that require good electronics and sensor size
I’ll have to test it out, but I’m sure it still won’t be able to compete in low light or scenes with high dynamic range with a true camera.
@@AustinJamesJackson I will send you some photos on instagram
I just got my full kit from Freewell and I asked 3 different professionals about how good of a job they do with my S24 Ultra and they all agreed that it was a beast of a set. It cost a fortune but they are far less bulkier than their professional equipment. Of course, they assured me it would never replace all their stuff, but that it would be enough to make a buck.
Sweet!!
I will defend this with my life, like, come on, people don't even have to know Photoshop, even Lightroom will reveal how much more information the actual camera's image got.
💯
For use photography use case? It's better than a DSLR camera
But DSLR simply has the higher ceiling for what's possible with your photos.
How is it better?
That's true if you don't have HDR enabled for your phone's camera. I'm assuming most people take HDR photos on their phone.
I personally think the HDR on most smartphones looks awful.
I use both 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome!
The real compact beast camera Sony use to sell is RX1R ...unfortunately people never appreciated it 😕
I haven't heard of it!
@@AustinJamesJackson exactly my point 👉Google it👈 you may find it intriguing as it's a Sony a7R series camera in a pocket size with a 35mm f2 lens fixed by Carl Zeiss
Images that come out of a smartphone have gone through many processing phases, thousands of algorithm and now AI. It's like processed food, still food but not It's original form. That’s why people say image quality from phone is 80% chip power and 20% camera. The more powerful the chip the better the images, megapixel doesn't say anything but a marketing scheme. Tiny sensor, tiny lenses, of course it can't compete without software magic, it's just physics.
While DSLR take what is real and turn it digital, real art no processing bs. I don't want to spread any hate, i think it's crazy how far technology has come. Just that the majority of people doesn't understand and being mislead by greedy big tech companies.
Agree with this! Thanks for sharing!
the 15 pro kinda fixes all this tbh, if you know what you are doing you can take amazing 8k HDR photos with an INSANE brightness peak
Interesting!
i personally take all my pics with my android and everybodu tells me that they're stunning and i should get a camera
You should!!
which phone
I'm not a camera guy myself, but I feel that my phone is good enough to justify not getting a camera, especially since the phone is just much more convenient to carry. I agree though that cameras are better quality it's just not worth the price of a camera to me personally with how good smartphone cameras are
That’s a fair opinion!
say that to my four third.....
👍
Iphone even have log profile which really helps the dynamic range
I wasn’t aware! Awesome.
Not true unless you shoot and process RAWs... HDR on mobile phones have higher DR than your DSLR
There is absolutely no shot your phone has anywhere near the dynamic range of most high end cameras.
Phone is only good for landscape and portrait. When is comes to anything zooming camera will by far win
👍
When asked what the best camera was: a well known photographer pulled out his iPhone. Stunned, the questioner asked the reason. The simple answer is: you always have your iPhone available to take that unanticipated shot. The best camera is the one that gets used.
Always nice if you have it with you, but I’d always choose my mirrorless over my phone if I have them both.
The thing I find interesting however is the following. „The best camera is the one you have with you.“, says the man while pulling out a Sony A7 IV. You can see that also on a lot of TH-cam videos. I mean, yeah, technically true that the A7 IV is probably the best camera you have with you, but that does not make it any more believable 😂
Making up stories for likes. Yikes
Computational photography has come a long way.
Yes it has!
Sensor yes, post processing no. The HDR in phones is absurdly better for dynamic range but at the cost of neutral colours.
Mirrorless only has the edge in
Natural colours
Depth of field
And telephoto/compression of shots
Otherwise the phone if it has a pro photo mode is equal to a mirrorless now
The phone may give great results because so much of the process is automated, but a mirrorless or DSLR is going to blow it out of the water if you know how to edit and your scene has dynamic range.
Absolutely not
Agreed!
No.
