According to Outdoorphoto, smartphones have bolstered the camera market, opening up demand for new accessories and greater potential for upgrades to dedicated cameras from a larger community of photographers.
While ever-improving smartphone camera systems have effectively wiped out dedicated point-and-shooters, they have not hurt high-end camera sales in the past few years.
That led to manufacturers pulling back on developing and producing basic point-and-shoot cameras. Instead, they focused on bridge cameras, which have fixed large zoom lenses with magnification levels superior to most smartphones.Zorgman said that better smartphone cameras have also boosted the overall photography market.
“Even though there was a loss in one segment, there has been explosive growth in other segments,” he said. These users who want to get more serious about their shooting end up adopting high-end dedicated cameras, which still offer substantial benefits over smartphone cameras. Two other areas where conventional cameras excel over smartphone cameras are in low light conditions and fast-paced shooting.
