Smartphone popularity

The consumer focus on a smartphone for photography drives the industry to strive every day to improve the onboard cameras. As a result, photographs from a smartphone are now closer to the ones produced with a DSLR. Moreover, the intelligent software and internet connectivity onboard a smartphone make editing and sharing effortless.

The mirrorless camera popularity

However, people preferring lighter photographic equipment are leaning towards the latest technology of a mirrorless camera replacing bulkier DSLRs as seen by their shipment figures. Both DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are still the go-to equipment, based on the use case scenario of high-end video and photographic content production. Each of these camera types has its advantages based on the needs of the consumer.
