You take great photos with both but I see there is a quality difference. My Nikon has trouble with whites and reds with out the perfect lighting. It is fun to do the trial and error. L.

I remember you telling us it was too heavy to use. Well done for building up your strength. You must be very happy about that. I recently upgraded my iPhone and the camera is a lot better but as nothing compared to a real camera with a proper lens.<br />Do you struggle to get the reds right?

I also found the phone clumsy for me to use. Hard to compose a photo, to finicky, and I always had trouble seeing the screen especially outside in sunlight. Dangling a phone camera at arm's length or half an arms length trying to see the hard to see screen never worked for me. Give me a heavier steady DSLR with an eyepiece viewfinder any day.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-39897177841649330322021-04-30T20:50:05.435-04:002021-04-30T20:50:05.435-04:00Quite a comparison.

I find the cell phone does pretty well with landscape shots where I'm not focusing on anything. I do like it for videos as well. <br /><br />The hawk photo is amazing!

I've used Canon camera for years but have recently begun using a Panasonic (Lumix) micro four thirds camera and lenses -- much smaller, lighter and less expensive than the Canons and Nikons and they take excellent photographs.Woody Meristemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042498252608254901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-28539709355230589462021-04-30T18:38:17.772-04:002021-04-30T18:38:17.772-04:00My phone takes great pictures but can't zoom g...My phone takes great pictures but can't zoom good at all.
