to smartphone or not to smartphone

Brian Matiash tests his iPhone 15 camera and accessories

Toronto. … with apologies to Will Shakespeare. Over many posts I have commented on using a smartphone camera. While I personally use the now out-of-date iPod Touch camera and its 8mp sensor; our Samsung smartphone sensor has a greater mp rating and currently exceeds the rating of any other digital camera I own these days.

I use the ‘Touch because it couples easily to my Mac via Airdrop. While better, the Samsung ‘phone needs a special cord connecting it to my Mac plus the ImageCapture app and more ‘clicks’. My other digital cameras need their SD card removed and inserted in my Mac.

Florida photographer Brian Matiash in his most recent newsletter (Lightroom Everywhere #7) features this article on the subject, “Can the iPhone Replace Your Camera?” Have a read and see how your smartphone camera can replace a digital camera when the occasion arises (I  know, I know, this is current, not historical – yet).
