    Ruined photography?

    Professionals or hobbyists can still use a proper camera but the old maxim “sometimes the best camera is the one you have with you” often applies and cellphones do fairly well in that regard

      I think is more about how the smartphone and apps like instagram uses a bunch of filters and things like that.

        That part I can agree with. Plus the “AI editing” bullshit.

            I hate that people have taken to filming/taking pictures vertically

            We were so close to everyone knowing not to do that

      Yeah. I am a new-ish hobby photographer and at the moment I have a 50mm lens for my Canon R10 (I will buy a bigger lens soon). The camera with its current lens doesn’t zoom well but my smartphone could sometimes take a better photo zoomed in depending on how I play with the settings, angle and lighting.
