It seems like everyone in today's society has a smartphone. Whether their smartphone is of the Apple or the rising Android brand, most users are becoming more well acquainted with the camera functionality built into the vast majority of these devices.

Nevertheless, most of these users are also happy owners of digital cameras, such as the Canon t3i. Is this a surprising fact? After all, smartphones are often used to conveniently take pictures to be posted online on social media sites like Facebook with fairly decent quality.

The truth of the matter is that although smartphones have advanced in leaps and bounds in recent years many consumers are still making use of devoted digital camera platforms. High end smartphones can take acceptable photographs, there is no doubt about that, however the cost of many of these phones is far in excess of the cost of compact digital cameras that take far superior photographs.

There is also a wide variety of differing digital cameras that were made for certain uses. A great example of this is cameras made for travelling, such as holidaying or camping.

If you're booked for a snorkeling excursion would you rather have a smartphone or a waterproof compact digital camera with you? For many the risk of losing their phones which today containing huge amounts of data,as well as being extremely pricey to replace is not a risk they are willing to take.

A very durable digital camera should be able to withstand everyday wear and tear, such as being able to survive an accidental drop on a hard floor or the hustle and bustle of being in crowded areas. If you were to drop one of today's robust digital cameras, then you will only have to tolerate a few scratches and marks. On other hand, if you were to drop your smartphone on a hard floor, say concrete for instance, from practically any height then you would have to suffer a cracked screen at the very least.

There is also the issue of megapixels. Users ranging from being an enthusiast to a professional photographer, the built in cameras in smartphones are just not good enough for these people. Even certain professions like surveyors, architects and realtors need sharp images that can only be captured by the more appropriate compact digital cameras.

Ultimately, whether you choose a smartphone or a digital camera is really up to you. Even though smartphones can take digital photos within acceptable limits, the cost for you to replace it is very high. A decent digital camera can be afforded with a smaller price tag as well as spreading the risk of valuable data loss.
