I had a Nokia Lumia 830 and reluctantly moved to Android when it was clear the OS was a dead end.  I went to Huawei, first a P10 and now a P30. I keep phones, as you obviously do, so the P10-P30 ...

Of no help now, but I had a Nokia 830 running windows phone 8.1.  There was a built in app, Lumia Refocus, which took between 2 and 8 focus stacked shots based on what it 'saw'.  You could then ...

Pictures of apples and oranges side by side might be handy as a test of colour rendition. DXO review do good and thorough smartphone tests on a limited number of phones. The real question is 'what ...

Onedrive is often overlooked and works well cross platform, it's what I use as well.  You can set photo uploads to not use mobile data so if you are travelling it will do it when you connect to ...

Photo you posted thinks it was taken with a Pixel 3 .... :)

I have used one for a year and am very happy with it.  It also functions well as a phone and is better in the hand than the bigger screen versions. I do have the 'proper' Huawei phone case, clever ...

I had a DSLR and a Sony RX100 M2.  After a while, the DSLR rarely went out with me. I now have a Sony RX100 M2 and a Huawei P30 (non-pro version).  The Sony rarely goes out with me. Most of the ...

I know you can find a way to get google services on a later Huawei, but I would be uncomfortable spending several hundred $$$/£££ or whatever on a high end phone and risk bricking it from the ...

The Mate 30 pro and P 30 pro are different phones. I think - but check for yourself - that the P30 Pro was OK with playstore and suchlike, but the Mate 30 pro was released after the Trump ban on ...

In my earlier reply I said I had used Pentax 35mm SLRs for a decade or few.  Even though I carried a few lenses,  I guess about 80% of the pictures I took were with a Tamron 28-70.  On long walks ...

I used 35mm film SLRs (Pentax) for 3+ decades, then moved to DSLRs.  Then when I had a bit more time to travel and weekend trips in Europe came with 10Kg onboard baggage limits I got a Sony RX100 ...

I know it should work, on the M2 it doesn't appear to and it's more reliable to do it manually.  No knowledge of the M3 so can't comment.

I have the M2 and the app, now running Android 10.1 but it was fine on 8 and 9. The Sony link does show the M2 as working (look under still cameras) , which it does but it is very limited. I think ...

By all means buy the kit of you really need it.  An alternative if you have an android phone is 'droid cam' app.  You put the app on your phone, get the windows end of it on your pc and all is well. ...

Its easy to find links to one sided reporting and scare stories. Huawei isn't perfect, the moon landings were a hoax and Elvis is running a burger bar in Needles CA. (no, really he is, had a beer ...

Excited by Tri X 400? I was excited when Kodachrome 64 arrived and gave us 3 full stops over Kodachrome 25. But yes, the ability to dial in the  sensitivity you want in a DSLR was a big thing when ...

I use a Ulanzi phone mount, nicely made of light alloy and much better than the cheap spring loaded things, https://www.ulanzi.com/collections/phone-tripod-mount/products/st-01-phone-tripod-mount-u ...

Will it matter? (1) Every so often there are great leaps in technology, then for a while progress is incremental. How much would anyone pay for something that is 'just a little bit better'.

Can't really help with that - I'm not geeky enough to research models unless I need a new phone. I think the pro has the same macro functions, the main difference is at the 'long end' with 5x ...

Not sure you can get true macro from a phone (the old 'bigger than 1:1 definition') but its years since I took a proper big camera out and about. Until recently I've been using a Sony RX100 M2 ...
