Photography: Choose a camera

Here we are dedicated to cameras as complements to smartphones to capture moments of life and keep images of them forever.
Smartphones now take good quality photos thanks to computational photography with the main sensor, on a single focal length while camera manufacturers are as interested in artificial intelligence as the Incas in the progress that the conquistadors had to bring them.
However, despite the progress of smartphones, their images often seem artificial and cameras therefore remain still relevant for their image quality, their zoom, and in prolonged use offer better comfort with a viewfinder and buttons, and greater autonomy.
