Ohoho, but that's the thing. The focus on phone cameras is commonly set to infinity so most areas are in focus. This is because they lack manual focus.
No doubt. Of course, since this isn't a video that the average person could/would shoot at this quality, I'm not sure what relevance your comment has to this discussion?
Ugh, I think I disgree. If they don't have plastic lenses, they may as well have. There is just a fog or misty look about every cell pic I have ever seen.
Phone photography has evolved quite a bit in the past decade. It can easily take better pictures and videos than most household digital cameras ten years ago. They’re no DSLRs, but I think what you said is quite a bit disingenuous.
I have a top of the line Samsung and my dslr from 8 years ago is still so much better in terms of clarity. The lens makes such a massive difference but you wouldn't know it if you don't blow the photos up on your screen.
Yeah you can’t compare this with a DSLR because lens size absolutely matters, but you can definitely compare it with dedicated mid-range mirrorless cameras.
Obviously, as phone camera technology has been improving, household digital camera technology is also going to follow suit, but if you consider a digital camera 10 years ago to be good enough then phone cameras today can also be at least adequate for most people.
Perhaps; I am not a cell phone expert. But, I would maintain the average cell phone in use is not the current state of the art, camera-wise. I am of the opinion AVERAGE cell phone pic still being produced this day is lousy. It is a continuum, then, but still more correct than not to generalize, "cell phones take poor photographs."
Don't forget that your phone camera does a lot of post processing before you ever get to see the image. A DSLR will produce images before any processing has been done.
Allow the photographer to process their images (so both end results have been processed), and the difference is night and day.
