In todays lesson, we looked at three different cameras and compared their camera quality
We used a Canon EOS 350D from 2005, a Canon 700D from 2013, and our phone camera. I have an Iphone SE 2nd Generation from 2020 for reference.

We all went out to the football pitch, next to our technical college, and we took a series of photographs of the same scene, with the pitch in the foreground, houses in the background, with a graveyard and the cloudy grey sky, using our three different cameras.
Then after we transferred out photographs we opened our images in Photoshop, and we could easily see the vast difference in the amount of pixels per image, with around 2 million pixels with the Canon EOS 350D and a shocking 18 million pixels with the Canon EOS 700D, roughly a 16 million pixel difference.
My Iphone SE 2nd Generation image is around 12 million pixels.

If we zoom in on our images in photoshop, we can clearly see the difference between the three images when it comes to quality.
With our phone camera, instead of having a manual zoom where the lens zooms in and out, when you zoom in on your phone camera, it digitally zooms in on the image, therefore it just zooms in on the pixels and as a result it looks a lot more sharp and blocky, whereas on the DSLR cameras, the lens itself zooms in and out of the image, this makes the end result look more blended and at a higher resolution.
