Do I Really Need A Camera In 2023? Or Will My Phone Do Instead?
I need a camera in 2023. I still prefer taking photos with my camera rather than my phone. My phone is used for snaps, behind-the-scenes stuff, videos, oh yes, and to make phone calls and do other stuff. Lots of other stuff, granted.
But for taking real photos, yes, I am using air quotes here; you cannot beat the experience of taking photos with a camera. And I cannot take the photos I need with my phone. I cannot get the quality of photos with my phone that I get with my camera.
So, I need a camera in 2023.
But do you need a camera in 2023? Let me know. And if your answer is no, then that is just fine. But let me know what you think. After you have listened to this episode, of course.
