Many of us like to take pictures.Years back we could use only cameras.
But now we have well-equipped phones to take pictures.
As my old camera is damaged,I would have liked to buy a handy digital camera. Until then I will have to use my phone.
When taking photos of moving objects or if the light is not enough cameras are better.
But while we may forget to take our cameras with us ,our phones will be with us.Also,it can be connected to the internet and the photos can be shared with others.
So do you like taking photos?Do have a camera?

I have one of those cameras in the picture but I normally use my smartphone. I haven't been using pics from my phone here though because they were always too big but I've just worked out how to resize them!

@silvermist Maybe. I have quite a few. I showed another member here a picture of my dog. I had to resize it and I could finally send it.

Digital cameras are always better than phones.That is why I am planning to buy a new one.

i actually have 3 cameras, but now, the camera on the phone is easier to operate. also, we do not need to have the picture made or develop already because they can be presented through the social media now.

I use my phone because I don't have any other camera. I find it just easier to use my phone camera since I always have my phone with me and I don't have to carry anything else.

@silvermist I used to have a digital camera but I never used it once I got a smartphone. So I sold it to a friend of mine.

Camera and Smartphone. When we are going to a scenic place,I bring my camera. On ordinary days, when I see something interesting, I use my smartphone.

I normally use the camera in my smartphone. Every smartphone has one, or at least the ones I've owned. Not too many people own both unless they are professional photographers or filmographers.

I love taking pictures and if I am interested the artistic side of things I use my camera but if I am only interested in using an image for the purpose of sharing on the internet only I use my cell phone. Eventually I will download images I take on my camera as well but those are much larger then the ones I take with my cell.

Since my smartphone is with me when I go out I use that. Sometimes I will see if my camera gives me a better picture.
