We’re starting to see more phones with zoom lens cameras. But what sounds like a useful feature misses the point of phone photography.

You sound like you are having a stroke 😂😂😂
No. X100T has an optical zoom lens.
so this prick just made a whole vid defending his brand of camera. brilliant. disliked
All I hear wap wap — - — - — -____ sssssssssshhhhhhhhh OOOOOOOOO and shit ton of background. Man oh man.
THIS FUCKING ANTI-ASUS BULLSHIT IS ENOUGH, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? ASUS HAVING LOW LIGHT ISSUES? IDIOTS, THEY HAVE THE BEST LOW LIGHT TECHNLOGY IN THE FUCKING WORLD, APPLEFAGS.
Photography cliche. Most people would rather get the shot they want than challenge themselves with fine compositions with a prime lens. And what’s more, a ton of people use digital zoom on their phones anyway.
It might be a while, but bookmarked for future reference in case Apple adds a zoom lens =)
Yeah but — in general zoom means more bokeh and narrower fields of view (great for portraiture). Most people would rather not sacrifice that.
Agreed.
Ron Weasley!
This guy is right but its going to go over every non-photographer’s head
bahahhaha this video is so bs, someone that takes pics with a phone isn’t looking to walk back and forward or think about their shots, they just want point and click. I own a phone and a DSLR for a reason because I don’t want to carry my DSLR everywhere when I want to take a quick picture or snapchat. Same as when I have my DSLR I want to take great photos at the cost of speed.
I don’t get it you say a few months ago that the iPhones simplicity was a pro now you say that not being simple and needing to think about a shot is a pro. At least keep a constant opinion instead of flip flopping.
so the point this video is trying to make is ??
buy iPhone ??
According to Zeiss engineers zoom lenses, requiring more optical elements, have the potencial to be sharper than a less complex prime. And shure on a phone it’s also more usefull.
Prime lenses are great but they’re also usually interchangeable! How could you get this so wrong?
Completely disagree.
Smartphones = Convenience
Primes != Convenient
OMG its the Lumia 1030!
you sir have an accent from mars
I hope GoPro comes out with a zoom lens camera.
Thank you
