Neil

Thank you, a little souvenir of our time together.?

Catherine

Let's have a look… Hang on a minute. You just took a selfie, I wasn't even in the picture.?

Neil

Ah, well, that's the magic of the smartphone, two cameras! You know, t hat's not something you can do with a traditional camera. I mean, do you even have a separate camera these days??

Catherine

I do actually. It's in a cupboard somewhere at home.?

Neil

Have traditional cameras been completely replaced by smartphones, or to put it another way, have cameras been made?obsolete?by the smartphone??

Neil

We are certainly in the digital age of photography but when was the first digital camera phone released?

----------------traditional camera-----------------

Neil

There are different kinds of cameras available today.

There are compact cameras, which are small and mostly automatic and usually come // with a fixed lens.?

Catherine

That's right. And then there are SLRs and DSLRs which are bigger, and you can change the lenses on these cameras and they allow for a lot of manual control.?

Neil

And there are also mirrorless cameras, which are a cross between compact cameras and DSLRs. They are small like a compact camera but you can also use the same lenses on them that you can use on DSLRs.?

I don't think so. I think while compact camera sales have really sort of?slumped, it's the lower end, cheap compacts where people have?opted for?a smartphone and I think manufacturers are looking at the more higher and premium cameras, high-end compacts, DSLRs, which are the ones you can attach lenses to, mirrorless cameras. So, the market's changing. And I don't think there'll be a time soon, yet, that… the smartphone will take over the camera completely.?

Catherine

In a word, no. He does say that sales of cheap compact cameras have?dropped off a cliff. This rather dramatic expression describes a very big fall in sales.?

This is because the kind of consumers who would choose a compact camera are now?tending to?the camera on their smartphone.

Catherine

For people who want a quick, easy to use and convenient way to take reasonable quality photos, compact cameras used to be the best choice – but now it's a smartphone.

Phil Hall

I think it's... some of it is people who are picking up a smartphone and sort of?getting into?photography that way and that's a really great first step into photography.

I think people are probably, sometimes, getting a bit?frustrated?with the quality once they sort of start pushing their creative skills and then looking to see what's?level next?so it's people wanting to broaden their creative skills a bit.?

Neil

So people who have?got into?photography with a smartphone but are?frustrated?with its limitations and want to be more creative are going to the next level.

Catherine

Now,?a rung?is the horizontal step of a ladder, so the expression?taking the next rung up?is a way to describe doing something at a higher level.?
