This is a well worn quote, and where this is going is that I went to a Latin American event yesterday with lots of sound and music and costumes. I wish I had taken my DSLR, as once you seem to have a proper camera, they let you get away with more and take you more seriously, in my opinion. However 99.9% of the people there were getting in each others' way with their camera phones. I know the newer iPhones actually take pretty good pictures and their electronics make it all very forgiving, but the one thing that they lack is the routine process of control. You can't set them on aperture priority (to control depth of focus), you cannot change and set ISO to avoid or capture motion blur and if the light is not great, they may not be sensitive enough. I took my travel camera TZ60, and had mixed luck.
The intelligent auto is a bit stupid, and in the following shot, set the shutter speed too slow(1/250), or did it? It gave a bit of motion blue, e
mphasising movement of the dancers. I like the colours.
Have a look at this:
I am trying to work out where I am, and hope I am about half way. May be writing the blog is an overestimate of my opinions and skills.
This may help you decide about DSLR vs phone
