Recently, I’ve been increasingly using my Google 6A more and more for street photography. What I particularly enjoy about capturing moments with my phone is the convenience of having a camera right in my pocket.
What drives me to use my phone for this purpose is the discovery of a shortcut that quickly gets me into camera mode. While some argue that a phone doesn’t qualify as a “real” camera, insisting that traditional cameras are always superior, I must confess my affection for both.
I don’t want to undermine my love for photography with traditional cameras; however, I can’t ignore the fact that the picture quality of my phone surpasses that of one of my all-time favourite point-and-shoot cameras, the Canon S95. The phone excels in various aspects, such as better dynamic range, faster autofocus, and quicker start-up time.
Nevertheless, there’s a unique joy in shooting with a dedicated camera that I can’t deny.
Shooting with a camera is more fun though-So I will be using both.
