Camera phone vs digital SLR
I’ve had my digital SLR camera for a while now and it still serves me well. It’s been around the world with me and I’ve taken over 15,000 photos with it. However there have been times when it’s just been a bit too bulky to take out and it’s in these situation where you want to capture those drunken moments on camera rather than having to rely on your memory which may be hazy at best the morning after. It’s then when I think a compact would have been ideal and I’ve been contemplating getting one for ages.
Being a bit of a gadget geek, I’ve been following their progress for the past few years and manufacturers seem to be cramming more megapixels into smaller devices which is quite simply incredible. I read somewhere a while ago that the digital camera is one of the most complex and technological devices there is and I can believe it.
I already own a decent camera so have been convincing myself that I don’t need another one. However, cameras started appearing on mobile phones and whilst impressive, I was never overly satisfied with the quality. But as always technology progresses and better phones are now coming with 3.2 and 5+ megapixel cameras as standard . I remember when the then new Canon Ixus camera was 3.2 megapixels which I thought was amazing.
So I succombed and bought a new phone (with, count them, 3.2 megapixels) and have been testing the camera out to see how it performs and (unfairly) compares with my trusty 300D. See if you can guess which pictures below were taken with which camera.
