In testing out the depth of field capabilities, the results were close, buy the more expensive camera provided finer background details. Summing up, a person can do well with the Pixel 2 and better with the Hasselblad.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This here summarizes exactly what I\u2019ve been trying to tell people. Every year, a new iPhone comes out and I spend $800-$1000 on it. I take a few photos, open them in Lightroom and sit there dumb-founded. This is the best camera in the world, everyone is fawning over it. It\u2019s amazing and the point &amp; shoot market is dead, etc. but on my screen, these photos are atrocious. I honestly can\u2019t believe people would appreciate them but I consume 100% of my photos on a 27\u201d 5K iMac and a 15\u201d Retina MacBook Pro. I don\u2019t look at photos on mobile phones or iPads so I spend my day on reddit looking at tiny GIFs that are 150&#215;150 (and down voting those because it\u2019s absurd I have to squint my eyes to see this on my huge monitor and asking people why they think the photo I\u2019m looking at looks so great on some photography post about smartphones being the future. Then I look at my stats. my own website and YouTube channels are majority viewed by mobile phones.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>so YES of course! The iPhone and Pixel 2 are amazing cameras for everyone using mobile applications. That doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re great cameras. They\u2019re great cameras sort of like Polaroid cameras were great until you tried to make the image larger than the size of a Polaroid and all of the awful colors and depth would clearly reveal themselves. You have to look at it from my side though. I\u2019m sitting here looking at an art gallery of full size photos in gorgeous detail on huge canvases with pixels my eyeballs can\u2019t discern and you\u2019re holding up a Polaroid exclaiming every other photographic medium is old-school and not worth considering.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a frustrating situation I find myself in every single day and finally someone (Lori of Laughing Squid) says what I\u2019ve been trying to put into words. These cameras are identical on an Instagram post on your phone. In every other place, format, location, size, there\u2019s no competition. You get what you pay for.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via YouTube &amp; Laughing Squid: Lori Dorn, &#8220;Not surprisingly, the Hasselblad did a much better job at smoothly&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-01-04T00:29:02Z","apple_news_api_id":"fadb35bb-337f-4637-bc55-cc756e762391","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-01-04T00:29:04Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A-ts1uzN_Rje8Vcx1bnYjkQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1TE","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2297,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/04\/27\/lightroom-camera-raw-updates-are-available-adobe\/","url_meta":{"origin":7294,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 LightRoom &#038; Camera Raw Updates are Available [Adobe]","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 27, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"Adobe: Lightroom encountered issues presenting double-byte character metadata after the image was edited on Photoshop.com Video files were allowed to be added to a SmugMug publish collection not capable of supporting video uploads The up and down arrow keys did not work properly when trying to adjust a point tone\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Linked&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Linked","link":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/category\/linked\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":6374,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/11\/18\/linked-my-photos-library-contains-73732-images\/","url_meta":{"origin":7294,"position":1},"title":"Linked: &#8220;My Photos library contains 73,732 images.&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"November 18, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via iMore: The oldest ones are nearly 15 years old: 1600-by-1200-pixel snaps taken from my first digital camera, a Canon PowerShot.
