I agree with your statement that the all the camera makers should make only a pro line. Or at least all pro with maybe one entry level for those that want to learn?

I find myself (as a hobby photographer) looking more and more for lenses and bodies that are either Pro versions or one step down.

And I use my Pixel 6 to capture tons of images when that is all I have.

… “my phone camera is this good and getting better every day.” Indeed. But nobody is going to get “good and better every day” at making photos if it’s the camera that does all the work and the photographer just pushes a button and then “edits” everything in software. An iPhone has a camera that doesn’t need a photographer who knows what he is doing. An iPhone doesn’t help you learn something about POV, depth of field, or what a lens does to the image you see through the viewfinder. In short, “smarter” cameras make dumber, lazier, and worse photographers.
And by the way, there is no such thing as a “professional” photographer versus an “amateur” one. There are only good photographers and bad photographers, and some of those good ones and plenty of the bad ones earn money with their photography, but that is called “commercial” photography. Photography is not a profession but a form of art, even for the law, at least here in the EU.

In reply to Mark. The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have a 48mp sensor. When shooting RAW files with that sensor, the results are less processed. It really is quite amazing what Apple can do with such a small sensor that has a lot of pixels. I saw an interview with the lead software engineer for the iPhone cameras and he said traditional demosaicing did not give them satisfactory results, so they rebuilt the demosaicing process.

I wish Apple was able to capture the dynamic range without having the raw file (or JPEG whatever model phone you’re using) look so tortured and manipulated. The midtones are so messy once all the algorithms get done doing your thing
