With the spread of "selfie" and "online identity verification (eKYC)" to take a picture of yourself with a commemorative photo spot and your favorite items for posting on SNS, the in-camera has become more pixel-rich and multifunctional. There is. Some models are dual cameras. Citing the results of the "Photo Imaging Market Integrated Survey" conducted by the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) in February 2018, here are three reasons why you should replace your camera with the latest camera.
Reason 1. More choices
The dual camera / triple camera indicates the number of camera units composed of a camera, a lens, and a flash. The smartphone equipped with a triple camera, which was the world's first "HUAWEI P20 Pro" in the summer of 2018, is the "HUAWEI P30 Pro", Leica, which is equipped with a quad camera (wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, telescope, ToF camera) in the summer of 2019. Including "HUAWEI P30" equipped with a triple camera, Sony Mobile Communications "Xperia 1", Samsung "Galaxy S10 + / S10", OPPO "Reno 10x Zoom" and so on. Among the new models announced in September, Apple also has a triple camera specification for the "iPhone 11 Pro / Pro Max," which allows you to choose from multiple operating systems and manufacturers. Although the name and mechanism differ depending on the manufacturer, many smartphones equipped with dual / triple cameras have "scene recognition" and "look-ahead" that utilize AI, and "portrait" that beautifully blurs the background and takes impressive portraits. It is equipped with an excellent shooting assist function that is not found in smartphones equipped with a single camera (even if it is software processing, the range and effects are limited). The common direction is "professional quality", which is comparable to that of a digital single-lens reflex camera, and "leave it to the camera", which does not require troublesome presetting.Reason 2. Night view mode and portrait mode are powered up
According to a CIPA survey, the top three scenes often taken by those who only use smartphones (those with only smartphones) when taking pictures are "landscape / night view" (43.3%), "cooking" (36.3%), and " Domestic travel ”(32.9%). Mostly so-called snapshots. The reasons for using smartphones as shooting equipment were "I always have" at the top with 67.4%, followed by "quick shooting" (62.6%) and "easy to carry" (53.9%). On the other hand, the number of people who use digital cameras most often when shooting is by far the largest at 66.8%, and the second place, "I can shoot as I want," was only 47.7%. If a similar survey is conducted from the latter half of this year to the first half of next year, "night view" may be ranked higher in the scenes that are often taken, and "beautiful" may be ranked higher in the reasons for shooting with a smartphone. The night view of the example of the smartphone equipped with dual / triple cameras and the portrait including SELPHY, which are introduced on the official website of the manufacturer, are of amazing quality. Please check it and see for yourself.Reason 3. Enhanced battery / charging-related wireless charging is also OK
Combined with USB Type-C, which has a new connector shape with no front and back, "quick charging" that can be charged in a short time is useful when using a smartphone instead of a camera. This is because even if you continue to shoot for a long time during an event or a trip and the battery level is low, you can charge it via the mobile battery during breaks or travel time and continue shooting as it is. Furthermore, if it supports "wireless charging" that can be charged just by placing it, charging at home or office will be easier. The battery life itself has also improved overall. For example, the iPhone 11 Pro / Pro Max released on September 20 has 4 hours longer for the iPhone 11 Pro, 5 hours for the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and a maximum battery life longer than the iPhone XS / XS Max with the same screen size. It comes with an 18W USB-C power adapter for fast charging that can charge up to 50% in about 30 minutes, and a USB-C to Lightning cable for this adapter. From the specification change of only the high-end model with "Pro" in the name, it seems that Apple's future USB-C support can be expected. Speaking of seasonal events and annual school events from autumn to winter, there are a lot of autumn leaves, athletic meet / athletic festival, school festival / life presentation, Christmas, New Year, Valentine and so on. If you think of it as a camera named "smartphone," it wouldn't hurt to buy it without a line contract. (BCN, Fumi Sagano)
