How does being the CEO of a big corporation make someone an expert in everything to do with photography. Why do their opinions get repeatedly published, thereby multiplying their influence. They are not objective observers, and they have no special gift of seeing accurately into the future. Their job of a CEO is to make profits for the company, and they will say whatever it takes.
Smartphones, despite their many limitations, are already more than good enough for the photographs that most people want to make. Can we just leave it at that please?
Bigger sensor, bigger pixels, less diffraction from tiny apertures, wider range of focal lengths. These advantages cannot be matched by intensive post-procesing and AI.
The killer argument against this "smartphones are going to surpass dedicated cameras" nonsense is very simple and has been pointed out many times. Any new technology or image processing that will make smartphones even better in the future can also be applied to dedicated cameras.
The basic argument of these "influencers" seems to be that dedicated cameras are NOT going to incorporate such powerful processing units and processing algorithms as are available to smartphones. Why ever not? What is to stop them?
