Professional photographers are still using DSLRs. They are expensive but offer many benefits over point and shoot cameras. The technology is advancing so fast in the photo world that point and shoot cameras will soon be a thing of the past. Most of the time the best camera is in your pocket or purse, and it’s your smartphone! With the release of each new phone, the cameras get better and better.
I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, which in my opinion has the best phone camera on the market today. It even has a pro setting where you can set many options you would find on a DSLR, like exposure compensation, while balance, shutter speed, ISO, etc.
I will give full credit to Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, for the explosion of the popularity of taking pictures, probably with the release of the iPhone 4. Now the world is taking videos and photos with their phones, but here’s an important point that I’ll bring to the table. Because of that fact, we are living in an age of “lost photos.” Why? Simply because people are carrying around hundreds of pictures on their phone and not taking the time to back them up! If and when the phone crashes, guess what? No pictures! Don’t let this happen to you. Find out how to back up your photos and even your contacts so you won’t be sorry.
