Smartphone vs DSLR - is it worth it now?

When it comes to convenience, smartphones do all the work. But if you want quality, the DSLR is the one to choose. That's why using both features can give you a lot of help.

[@whitbyretreat145]

Except Smartphones are catching up fast, I think in a year or two max, even the quality would supercede DSLR. I have been shooting with DSLR for over 15 years now and never thought I would say this.

[@kerbberbphotography8336]

@@whitbyretreat145 highly doubt. With new full frame mirrorless cameras surpassing DSLR type cameras, which have even better IBIS, lens IS, dynamic range, exposure, etc, its really hard to beat with simply just a cellphone, there is a physical limitation to the complexity of such a small lens on a phone to fit all of that into a phone. Not to mention, the realistic bokeh is very hard to replicate on a phone, and at the end of the day if the sensor is bigger, your light collection is most likely going to be greater, thus detail

[@ViolentMLG]

I want to post my experience. I saw this video prior to buying a camera, and have basically 0 photography skills beyond product photos on my phone. I wanted to take better product photos for my business and videos like this were discouraging me as they made it seem like its a tall order to get good photos. I took the plunge and I promise you it is not as dramatic as these KZbinrs make it out to be. I bought a 50MM lens to compliment the Cannon EOS Rebel T7 alongside 2 lightboxes. Keep in mind I am in no way saying I can compete with a professional, but all you have to do is adjust your aperture depending on the environment. I set it to manual mode, adjusted a few other settings to my liking, then, Simply adjust the aperture setting depending on the brightness available for the photo you're taking. The camera took great photos out of the gate, there is small learning curve, alongside adjusting to the camera and learning how to take good photos, its a little intimidating at first, and it is not like a regular phone camera, lighting is VERY important for great photos, overall I spent about 3 hours and did what I needed, and now I only need about 30 minutes to accomplish what I want for a thorough photoshoot. Yes, I take a TON of photos to get my result, and adjust allot, and out of 200+ I maybe have 10 that look very professional, the rest the angles may be off, or the product isn't centered, etc, but its better than 0, and a tri-pod reduces the error rate if you're into that. The natural photos come out very well and don't need much color correction, but you can throw them into photoshop or lightroom if you need to, which also isn't hard. People act like this stuff is hard, you know a good photo when you see it. Is a phone camera better for regular everyday photos? Of-course. I don't ever see myself carrying around this camera except for rare occasions, but I promise you there is no comparison to a professional camera with a great lens and the photos you can get VS a phone, the detail is significantly different and worth the investment.

[@striderwhiston9897]

@@whitbyretreat145 Nope, even current flagship phones fail to match the quality of a 2006 DSLR purely due to the absolutely tiny sensor size.

I use a smartphone, and it's generally good enough for my needs, however, the one drawback I face is variable framerate. Editing software is generally unhappy with it, and while you can convert it, it never quite feels right.

Have a feeling that both are needed because clearly smartphones are convenient but DSLR Cameras are still very much needed as smartphones can't produce the same quality

If you think of phones as small compact cameras, then they are the best compact cameras. The question one might ask is if they want a larger sensor, better lenses, longer/shorter zoom ranges and wider apertures.

[@muralibalaraman]

What people don't tell you is that it takes forever to take a 30 minutes recording from the smart phone to the laptop, especially when they are recorded in 4K . I face this all the time on the latest iphone with a lightning connector, or airplay. So the smartphone is not complete yet.

Smart phone camera's are perfect for the everyday person. I remember back in 2005-12, I used to bring my DSLR camera or something smaller like a point and shoot for small getaways with the family. BUT - These days my phone camera is perfect and Excatly what I need. I take the video or picture and get to instantly edit and send online to friends...this kind of portability and flexibility is unmatched. Sure - DSLR's are amazing but...there are phones that have finally reached the sweet spot, where you have trouble telling apart DSLR pics to smart phone pics. Final thing to mention is AI...thats the real game changer in smartphones.

I really feel that people have spent so much money on the equipment they have they try to find reasons of still needing it. Today’s phones are literally all you need given the amount of megapixels you have today. In the early 90s 5 or 6 megapixels pixels was just fine to use professionally……what’s changed?

[@annoholics]

The competition on KZbin is huge and to grow you need all the benefits that you can get. The easiest thing to change is of course the camera. I know a lot of well established KZbinrs make video's how you can make YT video's with less expensive gear. What they don't tell you is that they use far better gear themselves whenever they can. I understand the motivation to make these video's. It is not a popular statement to make that you need to invest many thousands of dollars/Euro's/pounds to get good video's. And of course, still content is king, but people also want good quality video and especially good audio.

[@scotttovey]

The new smart phones today, including the low end ones, are able to shoot in 1080 pixels. For anyone that is starting out, that is all that is needed. Now, if you have the money and want to go out and spend thousands of dollars on a top end camera to shoot 4K that will likely die in the middle of your recording session due to overheating, then go for it. However, if you decide in a couple of months that you no longer want to do content creation, and you don't use the equipment for something else; you just wasted all that money. I know of a channel that started 3 months ago and now has over 3000 subscribers. The equipment being used is likely a cell phone since he records from his car. Even if he is using a DSL camera; you can't tell by the quality of the video. 1080 pixels is 1080 pixels. The wise person will start out with their cell phone and upgrade after the channel is monetized and bringing in money. That way the channel pays for the upgrades and the upgrades don't harm the budget. PS: Some people still use their Logitech 920 webcam to make videos.

[@annoholics]

@@scotttovey It depends how you aproach things. If you think YT is just a hobby that might or might not make you some money, and you go from there, then that is a way to approach it. If you are however determined to make it a flourishing business then that is not the way to approach it. YT is the TV of today and I never saw a business that started a new TV station with mobile phones. And sure there is a difference between 1080 pixels and 1080 pixels. If you can't see the difference between the B-roll that was shown on this video and the talking head part then perhaps you should use a decent screen. Probably even on a mobile phone it is extremely obvious. And like I said, content is still king but it is not as if this channel is the only channel that is about content creation on YT. Normally a decent camera is used and there is a reason form that. People find that more pleasing to look at. Like I also said, audio is even more important and I am not surprised that a separate microphone is used. People can forgive when the video quality is not super but when the audio is mediocre they start to move away from your channel.

[@annoholics]

@@scotttovey There is of course no law to buy expensive hardware to start a YT channel. People are free to do whatever they want. The competition is however huge and you make it a lot harder on yourself if you want to do the same thing with lesser equipment. If you are a professional cyclist then there is no rule that you can't compete with an old heavy bicycle but it is a lot harder if you do so. When you create content there are a lot of factors that determine basically the value of the content The quality of the video and the quality of the audio are part of that. The algorithm of YT learns what the best content is that they want to recommend to people. If your video is not in that short list of best content for that particular person then it is not recommend. So if the video quality is not perfect then other factors of the video must compensate for that. It is not impossible but it is very hard, while it is already very hard to succeed with the best possible equipment. Why do you think Primal Video is making most of their content in 4K with a good quality camera?

[@scotttovey]

@@annoholics "If you are a professional cyclist then there is no rule that you can't compete with an old heavy bicycle but it is a lot harder if you do so." This is your problem. Slap yourself in the head, your brain is frozen and you are delusional. You are assuming that a person just starting out in something is a professional. They are not. They are amateurs learning a new skill and testing the waters to determine if they want to invest themselves fully in that endeavor. A professional cyclist has already made that determination and has the skill set to determine which equipment is best for him to purchase at his level of expertise. The benefits one gets from 4K has nothing to do with the video being streamed over the internet and watched by viewers. Unless you have the fastest of internet connections, you can't watch 4K over the internet. It gets downgraded to 1080 to save bandwidth. Amateurs just starting out do not have the skill set to take advantage of 4K video. They haven't learned how to edit a 1080 video yet. For that matter, they do not even know if they will like producing content. I know of one channel that was doing some high quality professional video and then, one day, she decided to go back and start shooting videos with her old Logitech 920 webcam. There was absolutely no reduction in the quality of her videos. Her quality is the result of her skill, know how and experience; not expensive equipment. If you can't make quality video from your cell phone which is near the level of DSL cameras 5 years ago; you can't make quality video using the expensive equipment that can shoot 4K. The equipment is a tool. The lens that shoots 1080 on a cell phone is just as usable as the lens that shoots 1080 on a DSL. All the pros and cons of the equipment are nothing more than excuses people use to justify their unwillingness to do the hard work and level up their video-graphic skill set. There's an individual that modified a piano. Then hired pianists to play it and tell him what they thought. One gal became fairly challenged by it and worked to see how good she could make that handicapped piano sound. Why? Because it doesn't take a master pianist to make a well tuned grand piano sound great but; it does take a master pianist to make a handicapped piano sound great. Likewise, a master violinist will take an old worn out violin and make it sound beautiful leaving it's amateur owner awe struck, whereas the amateur violinist will struggle to make the old violin sound as good as the master made it sound. If you do a professional job with today's low end equipment, that was yesterdays high end equipment; don't bother buying today's high end equipment. You don't have the skill set to make it look as professional as you think it will look; because it's high end. It's the experience and the skill of the videographer, not the cost of the equipment.

[@kajekage9410]

You can easily get good quality video from a high-end phone camera. Audio.. not so much, but I use a fairly inexpensive mic.

[@videoicon]

I still use DSLR in certain indoor scenarios as it allows me to use external flash to bounce light and produce a soft light effect. There is no equivalent quality external flash attachment for smartphones. Also the "Portrait" mode on smartphones is still not good enough, it may be okay for throwaway photos but not for quality prints.

[@jordanking7711]

It really depends on what you're going to be shooting for video. If you're only going to be shooting casual footage that nobody except for family and friends are ever going to see and maybe more professional stuff (to a point depending), then yes your smartphone is more than good enough. But for more professional work, you would use a proper camera. And for me personally, an actual video camera and not a DSLR, because to me using a DSLR for video just seems weird to me. Just my thoughts though. To each their own.

The best thing about using camera is that it’s less sensitive to low temperature, than a phone(at least in my experience) When I started shooting birds, it was cold outside, -20, and my phone in this temperature would die in like 30 mins max. But with camera I could go for 8 hours without any problem, no lags or any freeze artifacts. And it was nice to get Tele lenses to get those close shots

[@graymatters7584]

@@sassygrrl32 Your idea of good photos and mine may be different. I've never seen a phone that can do what my DSLM can do in low light. My cam has a full-frame sensor those itty-bitty chips in phones can't compete with in that situation. Not to mention the depth-of-field issue. There are situations where a phone can absolutely compete with a more expensive camera. Low light isn't one of them. Same with a GoPro.

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

Nice video Justin. I use both but found for the $$$, unless you want to get up around $5K, an iPhone 13 is a more useful camera in the field than a DSLR. I kept my I11 as my phone and bought an I13 Pro Plus as just a camera. For a little over $1K it offers much more flexibility than my DSLRs. On the flip side, my studio camera is a Cannon M50 MKII and I too leave it setup and ready to go. IMHO far superior video for green screen and talking head stuff. I sometimes use a second DSLR to get two camera angles that can be used to break up the video cuts better. Filmic Pro with 10bit Log takes the iPhone to a new level if you use the LUTs to convert to REC709 and make basic color corrections. Amazing quality! Your videos on this are a great place to start. Thanks!

[@AllthingsVegas]

I was reading the comments and hopefully you can answer my question. I take video of models (below the waist) with a Samsung s21 and I shoot 4k 30fps. Do you think this video will still look good on tvs in 20 years (I recently had my vhs tapes from the 90s put on a USB drive and they are very grainy), so that is why I ask? Should I upgrade to an 8k mirrorless camera or stay with what I have or get something else (if you say this, what is your suggestion that I go with)? I should also mention that I shoot during the day and never in low light situations.

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

@@AllthingsVegas I doubt they will have TVs in 20 years. And I still think B&W photos of cute girls from the 1930s - 1950s look good - and they are kinda grainy too. Then again I have seen a lot of crappy 4k video....so will your video be any better at 8K or will that just create a lot of work & expense while your competitors are outselling you with their volume and productivity? Now if you are shooting museum quality fine art for archiving a hundred years - go with the 8K. It will still look crappy in 20 years but you'll feel better for the first 10.

[@rosecoloredglasses-logan]

Excellent video, as always Justin! It is good to know that there are so many options available. Personally, I use a Canon Vixia W11 video camera. It is compact and ideal for my use with many automatic settings for the novice, but also, an option for manual settings for someone more experienced. It has a lot of great features for indoor and outdoor use. My only complaint is that it doesn't have an external mic jack. So, I run separate audio using a Rode Videomicro Mic through an H1N and I just align the audio clip with the video during editing. This is very simple to do in Davinci Resolve. It's an easy setup and everything is compact. I may need to get a lavalier mic later for easier outdoor use when the budget allows for it, but for now - I'm making what I have work. 💜😎😍

I've shot sooooo much on different phones. Its either been a labor of love or budget based choice. It's a useful tool when none better is available. But due to having to conform all the videos so they work in my timeline it's not worth the stress. I've also dealt with a lot of color and picture compromises. Funky lens distortion and limited dynamic range. If anything the best phone is slightly better than a go pro. In time I think that will only improve. Great as a last resort, B cam, and for timelapses.

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts - Hazel, PV Team

[@Shilghter]

Besides a phone I also own a camera plus a set of lenses and I still have to disagree on the convenience. While I agree that most of us have our phone with us anywhere, as it is a convenient to carry around it is by no means a convenient tool for taking photos or videos in that regard. You can't get interesting angles (try shooting kneeled down pointing up, good luck!), phone will constantly either fall from your hands, you won't be able to properly see what's on the screen, or you won't be able to properly reach the shutter on the screen. It's also too light, too inconvenient to hold as a camera especially when shooting in horizontal alignment. You will most likely end up pressing wrong areas on the screen, possibly messing up your settings and constantly open and close photo taking app which is so sluggish that I will have powered up and taken many shots with my camera before I can even begin to shoot with my phone. Ergonomics of larger cameras are so convenient and feel so great it is worth over smartphones just for this alone. It will really change your perspective and takes away frustration you might have never been aware of if you haven't tried a camera.

The camera industry no longer has a future imo ! Maybe only in the field of full format or larger. The telephoto lenses in smartphones are getting bigger, better and more refined! Theoretically, telephoto lenses with 350 qmm sensors are possible! One uses e.g. angle prisms, tubes and folds. You could, for example, optically connect several sensors (like James Webb) and use the whole width (width x height) and part of the depth of a smartphone. For an S22 Ultra, that would be 70 × 5 mm. So a telephoto lens sensor of 350 qmm! That would be about APS-C format. And because of the much larger mass production, the price of the smartphone would be lower than an APS-C cam.

[@kerbberbphotography8336]

Sure you can do all that but never recreate the In body stabilization that dslr / dslm lenses have. Also idk where you got the assumption that smartphones are gonna get cheaper, last time i checked it bumped from 600 to 1200

I was just thinking about this Justin. I’m thinking about forking out for that nice, Sony vlogging camera. It’s not the most expensive, but it’s still half a months salary for most people. I have an iPhone 12 Pro with filmic pro on it, a gimbal, a tripod, microphone, lights etc etc etc. Do I really need to be forking out the best part of a grand? By the way, any filming I do is indoor stuff of myself and close ups of model kits, toys etc. No dramatic outdoor stuff.

Can I go live with dslr or just smart phones only? thank you.

[@shiroumxm2052]

you can using a laptop. you can use the DLSR as a webcam with apps like Eos Canon app wich I use

[@matskay1971]

u forgot to mention longevity . I am still using my Nikon D200 since 2005. whereas I must have replaced 6-7 phones since 2013.

[@samairakapoor440]

great video

Thanks - Hazel, PV Team

I recognise Buderim Falls in this 🔥

[@venturaVlogger]

A smartphone is very awkward to use for vlogging, and you dont have much control. At times the images can be very pixelated

[@anxheloripa449]

The s22 ultra is insane. The 8K video quality is dumb good. So, im wandering if buying a dslr is worth it or not.

[@Thefitdadlifestyle]

Very helpful

[@PrimalVideo]

Awesome!

[@aboutmyworld]

The best to take great photo🤗

[@vj_great551]

Smartphones can't still reach quality levels of dedicated camera because of sensor size.... smartphone images look artificial.... One area where smartphone is ahead is hdr

[@RebelScumJack]

I did my entire video "St Pete FL Comic Con 2023" with JUST an iPhone SE (2nd generation)! (no extra equipment whatsoever - completely hand-held) Godspeed and God bless!

[@PrimalVideo]

Well done, all the best 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@TimeForElohim]

I can't even afford a used/pawn shop DSLR lol. But great comparisons Justin.

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks!

[@sassygrrl32]

You can pick up a good new DSLR for about $300 give or take or a good used one with even more features on Amazon.

[@wildbill9919]

Phones are difficult for me to use because they lack a viewfinder and large right hand grip.

[@Displays.1234.]

Basically you were talking about completely fake looking pictures, with fake broker... The whole smartphone industry has jumped on to complete fake Ai , smartphone pictures Don't come anywhere close to a real camera...

[@sassygrrl32]

I have to disagree with you there. I get really good photos with my smartphone. Of course it's a very expensive one. And it takes as good as my last DSLR. In fact, I was very surprised at how good they are. I am, however, considering buying another DSLR. Partly, bc I spend so much money on a smartphone & could probably get a good DSLR cheaper. Even so, I probably won't give up a high-end phone. Too bad they haven't yet combined the two.

[@jeffxd5029]

I am just now discover that smartphone also have 10 bit recording. Does it do the same job as mirrorless camera/DSLR or is it just a gimmick?

[@TLD3587]

Hi justin am a new youtuber i learnt about editing from your channel would you mind to do a video on how to grow a channel

[@puseletsotsilo]

All this is making me dizzy 😵, I am trying to learn all of this for my brand and I feel overwhelmed.

[@СвоёМнение-э2т]

nice video but so much information in random order and very fast, it just make me more confused. Even though i use both phone and camera, this video just tough to follow.

DSLRs are for fun and hobby.

[@somedude8604]

DSLRs are outdated, it's either mirrorless or phone these days.

[@striderwhiston9897]

DSLRs still take WAYYY better photos than any phone. Dslrs really aren't outdated

Fan of yours

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks!

[@jghcustoms]

I record to a micro sd on my phone so

[@kengematvnigeria4842]

I think my choice remains Smartphone

[@lev_anni]

These aren't phones or smartphones anymore! We should call them a mini computer with the phone feature. Anyway, no chance to be at the same level of quality.

[@TheRealtorlord]

Believe it or not sir Am still having problems with my thumbnail After posting my videos on youtube When i try to view it i Dont see my thumbnail it just shows a different spit in my video

[@PrimalVideo]

You can update the thumbnail on any of your videos inside KZbin studio. Hope it works out! 👍

[@TheRealtorlord]

@@PrimalVideo thanks alot sir

[@josh786manchester]

But you wouldnt go in to a wedding as a photographer and record on your smart phone…

[@easy4x4]

[@lionsandlenses949]

This video is actually very wrong. DSLR has almost no advantage over phones EXCEPT that next level videography and photography. Phones have more video/camera options than DSLRs do because of applications and software, not only attachments. Bigger is not an advantage. Phones have cloud storage, storage is Not Capped. And let’s ignore the fact that your phone is also your editing/computer for processing images/video? A phone is multi purpose and something that is a necessity that also just happens to be able to shoot 4k 60 FPS. If anyone is starting out making videos, there is almost no reason to buy even a 300 dollar camera if they have a phone.

[@TheHealthLife]

sorry disagree, have you even used an SLR? Sure phones are really good...but try to get a fast shutter speed on a phone. Try to get SD card storage. Try to get the massive amount of lenses available, try getting that beautiful bokeh on a phone. Your comment is a bit short sited. For the beginner...sure...but if you are into photography, you cannot beat an SLR or mirrorless like the Fuji X range or sony.

[@sassygrrl32]

When I starting videos a little over a year ago I started with my phone which I prefer. I can take video with beauty enhancing apps, other apps & my phone & pull them all together on my phone. I'm currently looking to go back to a DSLR because I do a lot of landscape videos & want to increase quality but I prefer my phone.

[@kerbberbphotography8336]

Dude.. the 4k 60 on the S22 that I have is laughable in comparison to the 4k on the EOS R / RP that I mainly use. Especially in low light.

[@shiroumxm2052]

we are talking about cameras, cellphone camera vs a real camera..and no, there is no way a cellphone camera can even the quality of a DLSR camera, color accuracy, lenses quality, depth, bouké etc... DLSR videos and photos kust look more organic , cellphones camera often look overprocessed , fake sharpness etc

[@Crashoverride1234]

What planet are you on? No way on this earth are phones are better than dslrs. Phone video is only good on phones. Transfer your video from your phone to an editing software and you’ll see how bad the quality is.
