Has smartphone photography made dedicated cameras obsolete?
Smartphone photography has made dedicated cameras obsolete for most people, and that's a good thing. I recently took a trip where I left my DSLR at home and relied on my phone, and the shots were surprisingly sharp, even in low light thanks to computational processing. The convenience means I actually capture more moments instead of missing them because I didn't want to lug gear around. Overpriced lenses and heavy bodies are now just tools for professionals and hobbyists with specific needs.
