On: Inside the Development of Light, the Tiny Digital Camera That Outperforms DSLRs

[Tepix]

For "normal" macro photographs, smartphone cameras are already doing an OK job. If you put a macro lens in front of your cellphone camera, it can be better.

Phone cameras have issues elsewhere:

* Low light exposures with low noise

* low depth of field

* telephotography

I would add lower dynamic range and noise in general compared to dSLRs, because of small sensor/photosite size
