5 Awesome Developments in the Smartphone Camera

October 6, 2015 by Caren

Are you an instagram sensation loving how popular your snapshots of life have become? If so, you are living in the benefits of the digital age. You likely revel in the beauty of having a phone/camera/laptop in your pocket at all times. In the past, if you wanted to get decent photographs, you would be forced to carry around high-definition cameras. Though weighty, these cameras often provided the sharpest, clearest image. For the casual picture-taker though, these cameras can often seem like overkill. Included here are a few of the incredible developments that have made the smartphone camera so successful today.

Vibration Reduction

Do you suffer from shaky hands? Ever get nervous at big events? Thankfully, many smartphone cameras possess fantastic vibration reduction which can help you get sharp images while on the move. It may not be easy to capture those concert pictures from the nosebleed seats, but thanks to vibration reduction you can get them a little less blurry on the fly.

Filter Capabilities

If you have downloaded any picture apps like Instagram or Flickr, you understand the beauty of uploading images to an online audience. One of the benefits of having these apps on your phone is that you can easily snap a picture, apply a filter and upload it to the internet in a matter of seconds. Filters can transform dreary landscapes to winter wonderlands and crowded groups to beautiful humanity.

Zoom

Ah, the beauty of zooming lenses. Did you realize that in the past the only zoom accessible was the foot-zoom? Yes, you literally had to take steps to and from your subject to achieve your preferred image distance, a method some hardcore photographers still adhere to. Getting crisp images with a zooming lens used to be an impossibility, but modern technology has given you the option to get sharp images at any distance.

Portability

There are few things in life more pleasant than having exactly what you need when you want it. Unfortunately, the ease of accessibility in “photography” with phones has resulted in many more images of breakfasts on the internet, but also more “kodak-moments” have been captured. One of the biggest benefits of smartphone cameras is that you can capture exactly the image you want to preserve at the exact moment you witness it.

Higher Megapixels

In the past, the defining feature of a camera’s image quality lay in the megapixels. Thanks to developments in this digital age, there are many more aspects that play into a high quality picture, but megapixels are not to be ignored. Smartphone manufacturers have found ways to pack higher numbers of megapixels into their small phone cameras, increasing the image quality universally.
