I have the iPhone 13, I think. While I wish it had something resembling a telephoto lens (the high-end phone does have a third camera with a short telephoto lens), it does great for impromptu imaging, and it does some trickery to photograph in the dark, basically stacking images to build a nicer, low-noise picture.
I took a snapshot of my telescope last night, and it took about 10 seconds but made a nice, sharp picture of the telescope in the near-dark conditions. I’d post it if I had the image on line somewhere.
My Canon has a regular lens, a wide-angle lens, and a telephoto lens, but dang it’s heavy!
My Moto Stylus has five cameras, and I don’t even know what all it will do. I can’t afford an iPhone. LOL
Meyer, before I got a good phone with a good camera, I used my Canon to take landscapes but my granddaughter asked me to take her prom photos because she couldn’t afford a professional photographer. Below is the link to those pictures. I did it two years in a row. That led to doing prom photos of her friends since they couldn’t afford a pro either. They provided the thumb drive and I took the pictures for free. I didn’t keep those. I stopped dragging the big camera around after I hurt my ankle because it’s so heavy. I did do my daughter’s wedding photos but after that it was all cell phone. I got the big camera out last night and plan to get started again.
Year one prom photos are the blue dress and year two photos are her senior prom (orangish dress). I need to get back to this hobby but will only do nature photos. Hobbies are fun. Work is work.
