or, stop using the label "non-photographer" and view every person who uses any type of camera is a photographer, they're not forced users or protesters

the question should be, why make the phone as the archive of precious photos? it will inevitably be replaced, it may be lost or break. a more reliable storage would be the cloud. if you want to ...

both wrong. the safer society is the more educated one. people aren't math. safety isn't in objects, it's in behavior.

sure, your single anecdotal evidence should fallaciously be generalized and is therefore true in all cases despite numerous examples that show the contrary

yeah, except that they prove you're wrong since they discuss ISO with regards to exposure. your links actually take the time to explain that it's not solely a relationship to crop factor when ...

by your logic, 16 mp on a mobile phone is "equivalent" to 676 mp on a FF camera, which is absurd. because everyone knows ISO and megapixels isn't straight multiplication based on crop factor.

so you don't have any proof that google pixel and apps are not reporting an accurate shutter speed

can you back up this claim with any proof?

indeed. this is the mobile photography forum, DSLR owners who keep trying to shift the discussion to DSLR photography should realize that many people who use smartphones for photography will most ...

exactly. people should try not to measure "photography" with "my equipment" - a lot of good photographs were taken with the technology at hand, and there were many good photographers that have ...

"permanent access for the NSA" - what does that have to do with photography?

they're not selling it in places where they said they were leaving the market.

it's not relevant to pre-burst and selecting a shot before you pressed the shutter, if microsoft smartphones can't do it

it's not "less limited pre-burst time", there's no pre-burst at all. lumia just has regular burst, not the same thing.

that is done with a regular shot, not pre-burst, which any camera can do. as mentioned before, shooting from a vehicle doesn't lend to situations where you would pre-burst.

this shouldn't come as a surprise, the corporation had already publicly declared they were abandoning the smartphone industry back in 2013.

so you don't know any p&s or smartphone that pre-burst at full resolution. fast pans and shooting from your car don't lend to situations of taking the perfect moments of your subject though, so ...

raising ISO is not "too high" when it's the proper exposure, and it has more latitude to do that anyway. its high ISO output is compared to the RX100's for a reason. understanding the CM1 is key ...

it's farfetched to call the proper implementation of a technology a disadvantage.  do you know any p&s or smartphone that can take 30 images per second at full resolution? do you know any camera ...

in lieu of OIS, you can just hold the CM1 with two hands. that, along with its relatively heftier weight, you don't get as much camera shake.  same case for video, it's smooth as long as you don't ...
