Though I’m on the DSLR side, I’ve remembered a neat point that smartphones have over DSLRs that would be unfair to let out.
Macro.
Sorry DSLR users. I know it sounds like smartphones would take better macro pictures than DSLRs. DSLRs beat smartphones at macro photography hands down, if equipped for macro. What I was trying to say is that a smartphone will let you focus closer than a DSLR with a non-macro lens.
For sure, if you don’t mind getting the closer possible and cropping the picture afterwards, DSLRs with non-macro lenses are still probably a better option than smartphones in terms of picture quality, but if you look for a quick and easy macro shot, in my opinion smartphones make a point.
