According to research, camera sales have seen a drastic decline, whilst the number of photos taken has skyrocketed with an estimated 1 trillion pictures clicked in 2017. Smartphones are now the commonly used device for taking photos.

About 92% of users who participated in a poll said that they use cameras more frequently than any other feature on their phone.

With AI-based sensors getting better in camera phones, the need for DSLR is dramatically diminishing. Does this mean we won’t need these digital cameras in the future? Maybe, but this is certain that smartphone photography won’t just be confined to taking fun or travel pictures only, but businesses will also adopt it to fulfill their visual requirements.

What is driving a drastic decrease in camera sales?

According to Statista, digital camera sales have dropped by 87% since 2010.

With lightweight smartphones, smartphone photography is becoming handy.

Although it’s highly debatable, experts say that with the right care and maintenance, the camera lens can last 5 years after which the image quality can degrade.

High maintenance and expensive lenses are some of the main factors that most people and even photographers prefer having good quality camera phones instead of a camera.

Almost no room for improvements in digital cameras. The lenses, hardware, and other elements have reached a level where creating improved versions is difficult, which is otherwise in the case of camera phones.

Another important factor is that if an image is captured with a digital camera, the photographer has to transfer the photos to another device – either to share with the client or for post-processing, which becomes hectic and time-consuming.

Nonetheless, some apps have the ability to significantly improve the visual appeal of a cell phone image at no extra cost.

Adoption of smartphone photography in the business

Smartphones are improving like never before and they are eliminating the need for expensive equipment which was limited to a particular elite group earlier. Almost everyone owns a camera phone or has access to – the point now is who has the eye to capture the right shots.

The renowned photographers have refuted the claims that smartphone cameras would struggle. However, they compensate with better image processing, smarter algorithms in the background, and even experiment with aperture size.

To support the fact that smartphones can bring high-quality photos, almost all the small brands are using camera phones to fulfill their visual needs. Apple is also creating ad campaigns using iPhone cameras to convey that even smartphones can create business-worthy images. The smartphone company is advertising their iPhones on billboards, hoarding in major cities of the world. This has also improved the sales of the Apple iPhone drastically.

“Shot on iPhone” is their campaign to promote the camera powers on iPhones.
