What is the difference and/or benefit of a DLSR camera vs. a standard phone camera?
In: 644
The size of the sensor – you get much better image quality than a phone camera can. This is simply physics: the bigger the sensor, the more light information it captures. A 20 megapixel dslr can take cleaner photos, even in the dark, than a 50 megapixel phone camera can.
The aperture – controllable, so you can take deep aperture shots like landscapes where the blade of grass near you is in focus as the mountain beyond it, or a shallow aperture shot where the background just melts away from your subject
The shutter – you can take super fast, in focus shots like sports events where even the sweat off a boxer’s strike is seen, to super slow artistic shutter shots ie light streaks in traffic (although most camera phones do this now)
The interchangeable lenses – truly the bread anf butter of dslr and mirrorless cameras. You can change the look and feel of your photos by the hundreds of available lenses available.
