ABSTRACT

The digital revolution has changed photography forever. Not only can people view images immediately after making them, but people can share them around the world through a telecommunication revolution called the internet. Anyone can purchase a smartphone and start sharing the camera results within minutes of hitting the on button. A system-style camera offers a wide variety of plug-and-play gear that modifies the camera in a way that makes the system larger than the sum of its parts. And key ingredient for communicators is Wi-Fi. Smartphone cameras are adding more and more postproduction features, including exposure adjustment and high dynamic range for higher quality. Photographers hotly debate the issue of screen size, smartphone, or tablet. A larger screen makes the photographer less stable, and the resulting images more likely to be fuzzy. Photojournalists traditionally recognized only two major players in the single-lens reflex (SLR) market: Canon and Nikon.
