Super small cameras, such as those found in smartphones or compact digital cameras, generally have smaller image sensors compared to traditional cameras. This means that they capture less light and have poorer performance in low-light conditions. As a result, super small cameras tend to produce images with more noise, lower dynamic range, and less detail compared to traditional cameras.
In terms of image quality, traditional cameras, especially DSLRs or mirrorless cameras with larger sensors, offer superior image quality due to their ability to capture more light, resulting in images with better color accuracy, dynamic range, and detail. Additionally, traditional cameras allow for interchangeable lenses, which can further enhance image quality by providing better optical performance and versatility.
While super small cameras have improved significantly in recent years and are capable of producing decent images in good lighting conditions, they still lag behind traditional cameras in terms of overall image quality. Therefore, for professional photographers or enthusiasts who prioritize image quality, traditional cameras remain the preferred choice.
