Phone or SLR?

[ddt0725]

I didn't do as well as I thought I would on this little pop quiz! I quess there are phones out there that are a heck of a lot better than my 'droid! I can see a P&S being hard to tell the difference to some extent under some circumstances...but a phone!

The photos looked like they were highly edited to make the quiz harder.

I got 7 out of 10 but only by guess work. You can take good pictures with a phone and you can take lousy ones with an SLR.

I only got 6 of 10. but none of the pictures were that good to start with anyways.

There seemed to be a fair amount of noise in some of the phone ones, and the ones with narrow DOF were giveaways. Of course, sometimes it was hard to tell if the background was blurred due to narrow DOF or just poor optics


Fancy cameras let you take pictures in situations the phone can

That is pretty much what I based most of my answers on ...if there was a lot of noise, it was a phone. But on a few, I underestimated the quality of a phone shot.
