>>4306045>literally iphone cameras are fucking perfect for photography in generalNo, no they are not.
iPhone cameras are trash memes. If you like the "iPhone look" you need to get off social media.
iPhones have done irreparable damage to the human psyche and people don't even know what things are supposed to look like anymore, between their post-processing in-camera faking details and imagining shit, to ugly photo stacking techniques and hideous tone mapping for /r/shittyHDR and plenty of denoising artifacts and unsharp masking, and high pass filters out the ass.
My budget android on the other hand, that actually supports RAW (not proprietary fake raw, but real RAW), is an acceptable camera.
The usability is simply cancer though. If phone nigger manufacturers would give us another side button that's touch activated to serve as a shutter button, they'd be less cancerous to try and use.
When the phone weighs a few ounces and has a clicky hard clicky clack clicky button for volume/power on, those buttons are not sutable for using as a psuedo shutter button, they are impossible to gently press without making the phone shake slightly. Real cameras have dual activation shutter buttons that allow a half press to engage AF then a gentle "full press" to let you more safely take the shot with minimal movement. Phones could do the same, but they don't.
Instead, I use my phone to control my real camera with the app so I don't have to buy a dumb remote shutter device.
Phones are great. Just not at being cameras. It's part hardware, part design. The biggest problem is badly designed products making it difficult to take decent photos.
