On the Galaxy, you can double press the power button in any app when the phone is unlocked, and the camera will still pop up. For the Xiaomi phones it's a double press of the volume down button while the phone is locked for the Vivo, it's holding the volume down while the phone is locked. The two Xiaomis and the Vivo also offer a quick launch feature, but you need to enable it. ![]() As a bonus, this feature is on by default. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is by far the quickest with its double press of the power button to launch the camera. I was completely satisfied by the way the tiny phone camera handled exposure and other details.Before you can even begin capturing photos, let's address how quick it is to open the camera app on each phone. I made a trip to this place and even though I took my DSLR, I used the camera phone very liberally. There was a heritage site closeby, which held the ancient ruins. But for niche photography like in shooting birds or distant wildlife, I have to use DSLR because that is the only option I have.įor instance, I had made a recent trip to a wilderness area popular for bear sightings. Over the years, I see a propensity to use the camera phone wherever I can even though I had the DSLR. I may have used the camera phone to capture behind the scene kind of photos. I seldom used my phone camera when I had the disposition of using my pro DSLR gear. I see a gradual transition in my shooting methods compared to how I shot is the old days. Over the years, there are tremendous improvements that challenge even the most professional DSLRs or the new mirrorless cameras. ![]() ![]() No opportunities lost just because we did not have a camera. Cell phones have become an integral part of our lives so much so that they have become our concomitant (or should I say we?), take any hour of the day.įor a keen photographic eye, this comes as a boon. Handy as they are, this option alone opens up a panorama of clicking opportunities. You need not tag along with the cumbersome DSLRs with the long lens exhibiting a cernuous mien. One thing I have to admit on these phone cameras. In fact, the camera capabilities of the phone are the main selling points. Well, we don’t know what technology can bring!! Cell phone companies are investing a fortune on improving the cameras!! A perfunctory glance at the annals of the cell phone camera specifications and it’s advancements from the time of its incipience to the incumbent state shows the extent at which the companies are vested into those cameras. I would scoff at the results of these cameras though, in reality, they looked pretty decent! The self-prestige of being called a shutterbug connoisseur used to nudge me from inside and bring forth the denial mode!! Humans right? The early cameras that the phones boasted of though came with a stentorian bang, was far from being even compared to the DSLRs. You just name it!!Įnter the phone camera into the ring. You shouldn’t be surprised to know that I am a proud owner of lens ranging from the wide angle, macro, zoom and telephoto lens. Wildlife is my interest and thus own a multitude of the lens in my kit to cover my subjects. I have been smitten by the photographic bug for all my adult life. This is preposterous, I always replied with celerity whenever some asked me about this comparison knowing that I was a shutter geek. Will the much-touted tiny opening on the phone throw down the gauntlet against the giant gamut of professional optics? The very thought makes me feel obnoxious. Am I feeling tipsy? Will my $10000 worth of precious array of expensive glasses going down the drain?
