With most smartphone flagships sporting high-end camera sensors, it is pretty obvious that the standalone camera is taking a back seat. Being bulky and a single-featured device, a standalone camera is soon threatened to being obsolete. However, when comparing to a DSLR camera, many smartphones do a pretty decent job. Take for example phones like the iPhone and Samsung which do a fantastic job of shooting images in an instant. But does a smartphone produce images similar to a DSLR? Well, to an extent, yes—that too if you only have to look at the overall photo. But when it comes to zoom and DoF, smartphone cameras are way behind.
A short video by WSJ gives us a glimpse of the smartphone camera and a DSLR and where the DLSR dominates. He points out three such areas where a smartphone camera simply cannot do what a DSLR can. Have a look.
