Smartphones Or Digital Cameras: Which One To Choose?

By Mike Thompson


It seems as if everyone you meet these days has a smartphone. Whether their preference is for a model manufactured by Apple or the increasingly popular Android based phones most consumers are taking full advantage of the cameras that are now standard with most models.

Nonetheless, most of these people also happen to own a digital camera as well, such as the Canon t3i. It may seem surprising, and even contradictory at first, since smartphones can be so easily used to take, send and post photos of everyday events online and without much loss in picture quality.

The fact is, while smartphones have been a rapidly evolving technology and market, most people are still content with the quality of the well known digital camera. High quality smartphones are able to take good enough photos but there is almost no doubt that the direct and indirect cost of these smartphone will easily surpass that of digital cameras, taking into consideration other personal data that could be lost as well as the cost of mobile plans.

There is also a wide variety of differing digital cameras that were made for certain uses. A great example of this is cameras made for travelling, such as holidaying or camping.

If you intend on swimming underwear, would you prefer to use a smartphone or a waterproof digital camera to take photos? It is obvious that the digital camera trumps the smartphone in this regard. The risk of misplacing one's smartphone carries a large price, since they often hold a huge amount of valuable and invaluable data, and so it is definitely better to be safe than sorry.

A really robust compact digital camera will be able to stand the common knocks and bumps that are part and parcel of hiking or even visits to local attractions in a tourist bus. Drop one of today's impact resistant digital cameras and you might have to put up with a few scuff marks. Drop a high end smartphone onto a concrete floor from any height and a cracked screen will be the least of your worries.

There is also the simple matter of pixels. For those who really on crisp photography to make a living the cameras that are integrated into almost every smartphone are just not up to the job. Architects, surveyors and even realtors need the crispness that is supplied by those extra pixels in even value for money digital compact cameras.

All in all, whether you decide to take photos with a digital camera or a smartphone is entirely up to you. Do keep in mind that although smartphones are able to take good enough photos, the risk and cost of replacing a smartphone is considerably higher than a digital camera. In any case, a good quality digital camera should be the best and most affordable option for achieving great quality photographs.
