with phone cameras reaching aperture values of f/1.2, having dedicated image sensors and chips, why and how are most of them still inferior to DSLRs?
In: Technology
Most cell phone cameras mimic DSLR features and abilities with software.
Image sensor size matters. A cell phone only has dedicated space for a small sensor, whereas a DSLR can have a much larger area.
Lenses matter. There’s a massive difference in quality of digital vs optical zoom, autofocus sensors, and other elements. That’s why many pro-level lenses cost as much as a small car.
And a DSLR is a dedicated blend of hardware and software that does one thing really well, where a cell phone does many things at various levels. Like using a multitool as a screwdriver.
