The recent release of the iPhone® 11 Pro has consumers focusing on one unique feature: the phone’s three camera lenses. In addition to giving different perspective options, the device also introduces a new feature from Apple, known as “Deep Fusion.” Through this feature, the camera takes several series of images and uses machine learning to combine them and produce the best photograph. But while the iPhone 11 Pro touts incredible advancements in smartphone photography, it doesn’t produce results that are better than a professional-grade digital camera. If you’re an avid photographer, here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t trade in your camera for the latest iPhone.

3 Reasons Why Digital Cameras Take Better Photos Than the Latest iPhone

1. Handling

While phones can produce high-quality snapshots—especially selfies—manipulating the device to get a good image can be difficult. Although there are many photography accessories that people can purchase to address handling concerns—such as tripods—these additions can turn the convenience of the smartphone into a cumbersome experience.

For many, digital cameras offer superior versatility in handling that can help photographers get one-of-a-kind shots that aren’t necessarily possible with the iPhone.  

2. Lens Lengths

Although this trio of lenses offers greater depth-of-field than previous iPhones, avid photographers may still not be able to get the specific focal length they need for certain shots. Digital cameras, for example, can provide a true telephoto image when equipped with a 300mm lens.    

3. Night Shot Restrictions

The larger lens sensors on the iPhone 11 Pro can receive more light, allowing users to take brighter photos in low-light settings—a feature known as “Night Mode.” While the results are phenomenally balanced for a smartphone image, this function only works with the wide and telephoto lens—not the ultra-wide.

By comparison, digital camera users will find that they still have more options when it comes to night photography by having the ability to adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to their needs.
