By now most of us are happily using our smartphones, iPhones, etc... on a daily basis and we have collectively changed the way photos are taken and used.
This leads me to the top 3 reasons that iPhones and other smartphones are the best camera for the average person.
#1. You always have your phone with you, therefore your camera is always with you. No more lugging around you DSLR or point and shoot. The batteries are always charged and there's usually enough memory internally to fit a few photos on.
#2. Connectivity. People are becoming more and more connected all the time. Your photos from your phone can instantly be shared across a multitude of media and social platforms with no effort. Not so easy with a DSLR, even one with Wi-Fi as several steps are needed to get the photos online.
#3. Cool effects and filters and video. Our phones have some really cool filters. You can make a decent photo look pretty awesome in a few seconds with the built-in filters or those offered by Instagram and many others. Panoramic shots are super cool too. Videos are easy as pie. And the best news is that the quality of the photos and video is not too bad.
More photos than ever are being taken on a daily basis. Not all are noteworthy, but at least people are enjoying photography ;)
