I will be the first person to admit that I do not own a “proper” modern camera. I have an old digital camera that does a job, but I do not use it anymore. Why? Because I have an iPhone. The cameras that come pre-installed on just about any modern phone are far superior to my old digital camera. They have a better pixel definition, they have a better field of view and the colour capture is much much better as well. So why would we need a camera?

The truth is outside of a couple of professional fields; we don’t. We do not need an expensive camera to take pictures of our friends and our holidays, nor do we need an expensive camera to take selfies. The sheer ability to quickly take a photograph and upload it to your social media channels, too, is far away above the capabilities of many cameras out there, and the speed with which you can do it renders many cameras useless for most people.
