Dslr Vs Phone Camera

I typically shoot with my Canon 5D Mk III, but I wanted something smaller to always have on hand while I traveled to Washington state. This small camera served me so well when I did not want to carry my heavier DSLR during hikes with my friends. It was also let me take snapshots all throughout my trip. Some of these shots could have been taken with my phone (though the camera on my phone is a bit dated), but still I wanted a camera that would provide me the option of better quality than a smartphone. My focus isn't taking photos that can be shared almost instantly, but still the wi-fi feature of this camera is a great option to have. I easily transferred pictures from the SD card to my phone for editing with Lightroom mobile. I still prefer my DSLR for several reasons, but this is a great camera to have in my kit or purse. I look forward to learning to get even more out of it. I ordered the camera only a few days before my plane trip. Ordered on the 17th, and it arrived on the 20th. And one of those days was a Sunday! Great quick shipping from B&H was much appreciated.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great vlogging kit for all your basic needs. The kit includes a microphone, mini tripod with phone holder, an LED light, a windscreen, travel case, and cables to connect to your phone or DSLR. I’ve tried the equipment out on both my DSLR camera and my Google Pixel phone, and it really works great. Just plug and play, it’s that simple. This kit helps give me better videos than I would with just my camera/phone by itself. Good lighting and sound. I highly recommend this kit for anyone doing a lot of novice vlogging and video recording.

I love my Nikon DSLR, but I don't love hauling it around all day if I'm sightseeing with family & friends as opposed to out specifically to do serious photography. I've been on the hunt for awhile to find a camera that would take decent photos and decided on the G7X Mark II. They're hard to find, but I did finally get my hands on one this weekend. It's still early, but here's what I can tell so far. It turns on quickly, is decently responsive (although you certainly will not mistake it for a DSLR), focuses well in good light (takes a bit longer in low light, to be expected). Images are reasonably well detailed and crisp when viewed full screen on a computer monitor, although if you are looking full size at the pixel you will definitely notice the difference from a DSLR. However, the images are substantially better than my old Powershot G15. I'm not sure I'd want to make very large prints from some of these files, but for my use case - sharing online and making smaller prints to share - the quality seems quite good. I like the feel of the camera, and I do enjoy having the lens ring to set my aperture opening when shooting aperture priority. Quick menu seems to have most settings I want in the field - ISO, white balance, etc (exposure compensation has its own dial). The Wi-Fi is a little cumbersome to set up with a PC but pretty simple for a phone or tablet. I like being able to transmit my photos to my phone while shooting and then text them to friends, though. The Canon Android app works for adding GPS data to photos although it's a bit of a kludge, and in my first day using it seems to be a fairly big battery drain on my phone. So far I enjoy shooting with the G7X Mark II and am pleased with the image results. It is much more powerful and versatile than shooting with my phone without much more weight and bulk. This is not going to replace my DSLR by any means, but it will make afternoons sightseeing a lot more pleasant. I'm glad I bought it.

Nicely done on the PRO VS EVO. The PRO actually does have a full 1TB available, VS the EVO's 960GB after formatting.

This is great for taking family photo, and self portraits. connect to your phone and take control of your DSLR.

I'm using these stands with the Roland VS Series hard disc recorders....great value at the best price

Great camera for someone new to DSLR's. Has been great so far!

So far it is everything I could want in a DSLR camera

this is perfect for my phone, go pro and i think my dslr can fit it too. it is really solid. it's made of metal not plastic that i thought it was.

Hard to beat a good ViewSonic monitor. This might be the best value at 1080P 165hz! If it's anything like my past VS monitors, it'll last you 10+ years!
