Digital Cameras: The New Generation
The days of camera innovations are almost gone. Smartphones and digital cameras are not just a quirky function anymore; they have become the standard of modern life, providing convenience and more reliable pictures. However, new developments in digital cameras make advancements in photography what it was before- a form of art to be enjoyed by both professional photographers and those with no experience at all. Nowadays, the highest quality cameras can be found on smartphones for only about $200.
Some of the advancements on smartphones can be used by non-photographers as well, which can be a huge benefit to those who only want a simple device for taking easy pictures. Smartphones no longer have to be thought of as "gimmicky" inventions; they are now considered necessary tools for staying updated and productive. Some people prefer using their smartphones for more practical purposes as well, such as taking pictures of documents or videos of presentations.
The days of DSLRs, or Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras, seem to be dwindling. In an age where consumers are being encouraged to pick up smart phones and tablets instead of bigger cameras, companies are looking at ways to make photography more accessible. The newest major advancements in digital cameras have become new features on smartphones.

The biggest advancements in digital cameras, which are also found on smartphones, are the apps. These handy apps can take advantage of the capabilities of high-end smartphones and use them to help users take better pictures than they ever could with a traditional camera. Augmented reality (AR) is another big advancement used for smartphone photography. With AR, users can take pictures that appear to display an image in front of them, such as the reflections from a window or the background of a restaurant.
Other cool applications include selfie apps and photo filters (which accentuate colors). These two applications help make the user look better than they actually do. Once a person is finished taking the picture, they can immediately post it to their social media account where it can be shared with other people. Or, if they are trying to take a quick selfie and don't want to ask someone else for help, they can use their own hands to take the pictures. The popular "mirror selfie" that is popular among teens today was made much easier due to AR technology on smartphones.

Another advancement that digital cameras have that smartphones do not have is the ability to record video in high definition (HD). These videos can be sent directly from one device (or computer) to another without a hitch. The complication of keeping videos synced between devices is reduced with this advancement, which makes it even easier to store and share videos. Video recordings can also be taken on a smartphone and then uploaded to YouTube or Facebook.
Another important aspect of digital cameras that has been proven to be successful is the ability to zoom in and out during an image-taking process. This is a helpful tool for recording tight shots; it allows the photographer to get more area in focus than they could before. Unfortunately, digital cameras do not have this feature as smoothly as smartphones, which are equipped with optical zoom lenses. However, smartphones do have dual image2 technology that provides both cameras with an option for zooming at the same time.
One of the biggest questions about smartphones that a person might have is if they can replace digital cameras. The answer is yes- smartphones have replaced many of the basic functions of digital cameras, including taking pictures and recording HD videos. However, there are some things that a smartphone cannot do as well as a digital camera can. A big part of this question has to do with the fact that smartphones are still equipped with small image sensors (in comparison to those in digital cameras).
Image sensors play an important part in photography because they determine how much light the camera receives when it takes an image. In order for a picture to be taken properly, there needs to be enough light present for the camera to function properly. Smartphones have a disadvantage in image sensor size, which makes taking pictures in low-light conditions (which is extremely common for amateur photographers) more difficult.
However, there are some smartphones on the market that do not have the disadvantage of small image sensors. They use software and hardware to compensate for the lack of quality by using higher ISO levels or brightening up pictures. In general, smartphones are easier to take pictures with because they can be taken with only one hand- a huge advantage when trying to capture picture-perfect moments quickly. Smartphone cameras also tend to have better resolution than digital cameras do, meaning that the picture will look crisper.
Although it is undeniable that smartphones are better at taking pictures, some users still prefer taking pictures with a smartphone. This is because of the convenience of smartphone cameras and the ability to take quick pictures (especially selfies). However, if a person feels more comfortable using a digital camera, they will have no problem using one. The biggest difference between a smartphone and a digital camera is the needed experience to use them- smartphones can be used by anyone who knows how to take photos with their phones, while digital cameras require experience in order to get good shots.
Smartphones have become so advanced that there are many apps that people can use on their phones for almost anything that would require software on a computer, such as photo editing. This is done by downloading a photo editing app, which is compatible only with certain smartphones. There are also apps that can be installed in order to edit videos or even documents.
This advancement was the biggest step for smartphones as a camera. It eliminated the need to carry both a smartphone and computer because everything could be done on one device. These apps were created to enhance the photograph-taking process; they allow people to easily share pictures with social media websites, fix up the picture before it is posted, or even do more advanced things such as editing videos and documents.
Mobile phones have become some of the most important gadgets that a person might own. The ability for people to have access to a phone with them at all times allows them to stay connected to the world around them. However, smartphones are used in many different ways such as keeping in touch with friends and family, accessing information on the Internet, taking pictures, recording videos, playing games or apps and keeping up with events in the news. Smartphones also play important roles in our society such as tracking stock prices and forecasting weather conditions.
A big part of how smartphones are used depends on what model (or brand) they are using. The newest technology being produced today ("smartphone tech") is constantly changing, which makes it very difficult to determine how a smartphone is going to be used. With this in mind, there might be an update that will come out in the future that could dramatically change how smartphones are used.
The latest smartphone tech includes wireless charging, which allows people to charge their phones without plugging them into the charger. One of the ways smartphone owners have been using this new feature is by setting up a "wireless charger" near their bedside table so they can wake up without having to find their charger or even remembering if it needs to be plugged in; this can save time and energy as well.
Conclusion
In the world of smartphones, there is an abundance of brands that are out there. This is not only because smartphones have become so popular in recent years, but also because the market for these products has been growing so rapidly that it cannot be captured by a few companies. As mentioned, smartphones have become embedded in almost every aspect of our lives today; we use them when we are home, at work and even while we are on the go.
The smartphone market has been dominated for quite some time by Apple (with big help from Samsung) and Motorola, which makes up a large portion of the business. However, this doesn't mean that other companies aren't worth considering when shopping around for a new phone (or four).
