Phones vs DSLR Cameras
Do you need a DSLR camera to take a quality photo?
will just ignore aperture. The last component for a picture is shutter speed, shutter speed is how fast the image sensor is exposed to the light, so the higher the shutter speed, the shorter amount of time that light is exposed to the image sensor. However, there is more at play then just those three, two other important factors are sensor size and megapixels. In the camera world, size does matter, at least concerning the size of the sensor. Full frame sensors have the distinct advantage of hold more quality then of cameras that have smaller sensors, the larger the sensor, the higher the quality of the picture will be. Megapixels are the unit of graphics resolutions, and the quality and richness of a photo also heavily rely on sensor types as well. Now that we have all the basics of photography and cameras, let’s look at some cameras.
The EOS 5D Mark IV was released in August of 2016 and is considered to be one of the advanced cameras in Canons line of products. Costing nearly $3,000, it is expected to work at such a professional level. Not only does the 5D Mark IV have a better and larger sensor then the rebel, but it also blows it out of the water with its performance. Ridiculously

e all know that as time marches on, technology marches forward with it. The cameras in phones have advanced
tremendously and now brought the argument forward. Do the cameras in our phones make the camera companies like Nikon or Canon irrelevant? So in this informational article, we will go over how good phone cameras are, what phone has the best camera and how they compare to camera bodies. But first, to understand what I am about to ramble on about, we have to go over some basic information and the fundamentals of a camera. A photo is made of three elements, ISO, aperture and shutter speed. ISO is the measure of the sensitivity on the image sensor of a camera, so lowering the sensitivity of a camera will lower the amount of light measured on the image sensor. Aperture is a controlled hole which light travels through, the aperture is made through a series of blades and aperture determines the depth of focus. So a large aperture means a large depth of focus but a small aperture would produce a smaller depth of field. The only problem with aperture is that it is contained inside the lens of a camera and not inside the camera body, so for the cameras with interchangeable lens, We
