Canon Unveils Unprecedented "Analog Concept Camera"


As I already said, "Don't get me wrong...there are times when I have found that the smartphone in 'PHD' mode can outshoot what I can do with a dSLR on first trial! But there are many things my dSLR can allow me to do, that I would struggle to do with the smartphone. Like any tools, there is a right one and a wrong one for a particular situation!"
 
My issue with smartphones as cameras, as well as mirrorless cameras, is I am quite adverse to EVFs or holding a screen a foot away to compose and shoot a photo.
 

You can certainly switch focus between A,B,C manually or automatically with tracking on the fly while filming in cinematic mode. It’s a lot of fun too. That doesn’t make it the professional’s choice of course but the tools built modern phones are amazing.
 

I am impressed!
 
I hope not.

Most professional photographers these days let the camera do the heavy lifting.

It's only very specialised photography, and of course the amateur/hobbyist market who generally shoot RAW. It's a bit like film in that respect.
Adobe and other add on vendors love them of course.
 

smartphones can produce image quality equal to a DSLR/Mirrorless camera. I have a solo show up on the wall right now where I have some images shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max (two generations out of date) that I shot in RAW mode, out the window of a plane. They're printed 30x40 inches. Unless I told you which ones were shot with the phone you wouldn't know.
