Or at least that's the way it was a few years ago when I looked into IG and gave up on it. Maybe it's changed, but it clearly doesn't cater to people with real cameras.
The camera obscura or one of the horrible modern DSLRs? \s
Always love when people that don't get modern tech start with the gate keeping. iPhone produce better pictures by themselves than 90% of all the "real camera" people with their $5000 Canons.
Is just a toy added to a phone. Not more, not less.
Have I missed some new feature? My iPhone just sits on the table until I pick it up and do something with it.
Modern phones are very capable cameras. I always have mine with me and, especially in non-challenging conditions (light/focal length/etc.) one can take very good photos with it. I use it a lot. But it's ludicrous to suggest that it's more capable than purpose built devices with much bigger sensors and much bigger lenses.
(That said, if you're someone who shoots with a DSLR on full auto and never has taken your kit lens off the camera, you should probably just stick with your phone. It's easier.)
