The late Don Douglas was a perennial winner at any of our photo contests. Don once said, &#8216;the best camera is the one you are holding&#8217;, that is any camera is of no use sitting at home when you see the ideal shot.<\/p>\n<p>For those of us with a smartphone (nearly all of us) this means our smartphone camera is always with us. However, Tim Brookes, of How-to Geek feels differently about digital cameras. In his March 11 article titled, &#8220;<a title=\"Want Better Smartphone Photos? Buy a Real Camera\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/868046\/want-better-smartphone-photos-buy-a-real-camera\/\" aria-label=\"Want Better Smartphone Photos? Buy a Real Camera\">Want Better Smartphone Photos? Buy a Real Camera&#8221;<\/a>, Tim notes that space limitations in smart phones means a very small sensor (even for a 48mx camera) and little or no means to change lenses.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, he feels any serious photographer needs to consider getting a DSLR or mirrorless camera <em>and<\/em> using it. I have to say, I have three digital cameras, an iPod Touch which I always have on hand (8 mx) and a Samsung smartphone with the highest pixel count on hand. Food for thought &#8211; especially in this day and age of digital wizardry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
