In mid-nineteenth century, a cart driven by the sturdy Arabian horse along the silent road against a beautiful natural landscape provided a spectacular photograph. The photographic pioneers struggled to get a perfect shot with the infant technology of those times. But, as of now, with the changing chronological periods, we have come up with the finest innovations in this field. One of the most prominent inventions is the accessibility and portability of the camera. A phone is a human’s best companion in the present scenario and the camera fitted to it has made the traveling a more replenishing adventure.

But, the dilemma in the field of photography has not yet died. It comes up with every decade with a challenging facade. In the present decade, innovations have grown at such a pace that people find it quite difficult to choose the best camera phone. There are some features that should be kept in mind while choosing because as Ansel Adams had said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” So, to make the best photograph, you need best of the features. First, an autofocus is must in the camera because it is of utmost importance to capture what is needed rather than gathering unwanted stuff. Second, aperture plays a vital role in focusing the light entering the lens. It is measured in the f-stops and smaller the f-stop, the more light can reach the camera sensor and brighter would be the picture. Third, as most of the photography is done in dim lighting, it becomes requisite for a phone to have good flash light to complement the camera. If it can be the dual LED light, it would be the icing on the cake. Fourth, we acknowledge the fact that nature can be best viewed through our eyes. So, innovations have been directed towards making camera capable to produce the same effect. Therefore, HDR (high dynamic range) capabilities should be incorporated in the camera which is coming as a feature in new smart phone cameras. Finally, we all like to party with friends or go out on a trip but it would be a half baked cake if we are devoid of cheerful memories through video recording. To fulfill that, it must be ensured that the camera has 4K video recording feature because the photograph captures your face but video, your emotions. 

All in all, it can be observed that the smart phone with a camera has become an inalienable part of the present world. It supplements the joy of memorable moments which can be relived everyday through the collection of photographs. There are many outstanding companies like Samsung, Apple, Oppo and others providing new features in their cameras and to choose, one must read the specification of the camera. As Dorothea Lange has put it, “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” So, to enjoy that standstill, go and pick up the camera with best features.
