Digital Camera VS Camera Cellphone

Is it worth to get a high end camera cellphone to replace a digital camera?


Camera cellphone is really attractive as one could easily shooting photo anywhere and anytime, to avoid missing any memorable moments. Although, it is not an ideal tool to shoot for quality in mind or by any professional photographer standard at this time of writing.

The quality of picture snapped is a combination of imaging sensor type and optical lens:

• CCD image sensor is a must for better quality of picture capturing as compare with CMOS imaging sensor.
• The bigger the CCD sensor, the richest details of picture captured.
• Generally, DSLR camera (digital single-lens reflex) built with bigger CCD censor than compact digital camera. The smaller CCD censor simply means more pixels have to fit into smaller area in CCD. Hence, one could not expect sharpen picture will get.

As the camera phone becomes smaller and compact, the image sensor would be much more smaller than most compact digital camera. Image sensor used mostly is CMOS type, which produce lower imaging quality as compare to CCD censor. To mitigate the lost of picture quality, higher power optical lens is used to produce a tiny image with much details as possible onto the image sensor.

In brief, camera cellphone help to capture scene of history in convenient way and sufficient for most general usage. The digital camera is the better option for specific picture capturing purpose (preferable DSLR type rather than compact type).
