Why smartphones are killing compact cameras

1. If you are serious about photography you will always use a camera and NOT a smartphone.

   Smartphones are toys that will be extinct in a few years.

2. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

   I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

   It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

   The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

   HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

   I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

   BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

   It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

3. 11 months ago phones were walking all over compact cameras.. Today they’re all over bridge cameras… DSLRs aren’t safe..

4. DSLR camera
   MRL camera
   Still no1
   BTW fck smart phone photographer that busy body at wedding and birthday party if they think they can make good photo people don't pay photographer… distraction fungus 💩💩

5. The conclusion is get a 1 inch sensor point and shoot if you will shoot raw and take the camera always with you . If you will shoot Jpeg (other than Fujifilm camera's which use bigger aps-c sensor) and you are not a pro buy a phone with a good camera.

6. I still use my Sony compact cameras, they zoom way better than my iPhone 5s

7. Can you give me your camera 😁😂😂

8. Smartphones donot have the perfect background blur bcoz they use software to blur the bg but camera has natural background blur

9. Thanks for this Review, but I don't see your Google Drive Link…

10. I still use those, and I got them all second hand, mostly not even opened by the owners.. They bought them years ago and then used their smartphones.. Got them super cheap and I am happy

11. Really bad comparison! There are almost no point-and-shoot cameras sold anymore. The RX100 certainly is not a P&S camera. It’s an advanced camera that just so happens to be small and handy. Hell you can get a DSLR kit for the price of an RX100! The smartphone IS the new P&S camera.

12. The images from phone are already heavily processed by software, which can be bad or good, depending of what you want. The phones leaves you a little room for post processing (even in RAW). Straight from the camera, the phones can beat even the low entry DSLR / mirrorless, but with post processing software, the cameras easily beats the phone. Also, this is applied to high end compacts vs DSLR. But, still, that is no excuse for such underexposed photos from a compact camera, a camera that was designed to do things easier. It also costs a lot of money for the performance you get. This is not about Sony, all the premium cameras are about the same. At least they should develop a better auto mode, comparable to the smartphones, and leave the PASM as it is today. In these days you have anything you need from a premium compact camera (and even more), on a smartphone, that can be cheaper than the premium compact. You have ultra wide camera, standard angle camera with bright aperture (26mm / 1.5 – 1.8 etc), and even tele A strong image processing in a device that you carry with you all day. For me that sounds like all ingredients to a perfect camera companion, when you don't want to carry your big APS-C / FF camera with you. This is why compacts will vanish.

13. But smartphone camera can't zoom as well as digital cam point and shoot.so how would it kill ?

14. Wow this video is really terrible…… This "reviewer" probably used a camera that isnt a smartphone for the first time in his life….

15. it's like having a race with three runners, one is Bolt but he has his legs tied with a chain…I see your point though, people can't be bothered to learn to use a camera properly…point and shoot, like everything else. By the way that rx100 model you used is now 5 years old.

16. This is also a good analysis on this subject

17. We need optical zoom in smartphones.

18. Artistic imaging has ALWAYS been about “trickery” whether we’re talking about cinematic film (watch film noir of the 1940’s – 1960’s) or photography. So, “processing” (particularly when done by the genius of Pixel phones) doesn’t bother me at all. If all you want to do is take “realistic” photos, well, where’s the artistic expression in that? Let the camera do it’s job (the trickery) and I’ll do mine as the photographer (the choosing of the subject(s), shooting mode and framing).

19. Thank you.

20. Point and shoots will always be available as who want to risk losing their £999 phone when a point and shoot is cheaper and localised loss of photos only should the worst happen.
