Taking photos is something that we don\u2019t do enough nowadays. Make sure you share this family time whilst capturing your memories in a photo.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sony Xperia 5 II<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sitting right at the top of the best smartphone cameras list is the Sony Xperia 5 II<\/a>. There\u2019s no surprise that this handset has such a high quality camera. After all, Sony has always produced market leading digital cameras. On the back of the Sony Xperia 5 II you can find a triple 12MP camera with Zeiss optics. This camera can really do some incredible things and capture high quality photos. Inside this setup is a wide lens, ultra wide lens and a telephoto lens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of these lenses does a completely different job, allowing you to take hundreds of different types of photos. This camera has real time eye autofocus technology, which allows you to take photos one after the other without the worry of a blurry photo. This doesn\u2019t just work on people, but also animals. You can capture photos of your pets on the move in the highest resolution available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another huge feature here is the low light shots. Even if it\u2019s getting dark, you\u2019ll still be able to take gorgeous photos. Shoot your Christmas lights in all their beauty as well as your family opening up their presents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

iPhone 12 Pro Max<\/span><\/h2>\n

Apple released the iPhone 12 Pro Max just a few weeks ago now. It\u2019s become clear that the camera found on this smartphone is one of the more desirable ones on the market. On the back of the Pro Max, you can find a quad lens camera, consisting of a 12MP wide lens, 12MP ultra wide lens, 12MP telephoto lens and TOF 3D LiDAR scanner. Each of these lenses will give you a completely different shooting style. You\u2019ll also get Night Mode with both the wide and ultra wide lenses, allowing you to shoot in lower light situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The LiDAR scanner is something that has caused a lot of excitement this year. The iPhone 12 Pro Max<\/a> uses LiDAR scanning to measure how long it takes light to reflect back from an object. This allows it to offer a great level of depth in your photos to really make them pop. This is the same technology that NASA is working with for their next Mars landing.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve added this phone to our best smartphone cameras because of the improvements it\u2019s had compared to predecessors. The iPhone 12 Pro Max can capture low light photos 87% better than any other iPhone. It also has\u00a0 new sensor-shift optimisation image stabilisation. This means that during videos, you will have a lot less noise and way higher resolution videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the start of 2020, Samsung released their next level of flagship devices. This range seriously changed up expectations from Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra<\/a> is their highest specification handset in this range and the camera system really proves this. On the back of this device, you can find a quad lens camera with an incredibly high resolution main lens. This holds a 108MP main lens, 48MP periscope telephoto lens, 13MP ultra wide lens and a 0.3MP TOF 3D lens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, the main lens is the most attractive part of this system. With a super high resolution camera lens, you\u2019re going to be able to capture photos unlike any other. You\u2019re going to be able to capture your Christmas memories in super sharp detail with tons of colour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This device also has Space Zoom, which will completely transform your photos. With 10x Hybrid Optic Zoom, you can get closer to your subject without moving from your spot. When this is paired with Super Resolution Zoom, you\u2019re getting something that doesn\u2019t feel like it\u2019s so good!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got so many of the best smartphone cameras at a price you won\u2019t be able to say no to. Don\u2019t miss the huge smiles and faces full of joy this Christmas. Prepare with a camera capable of capturing great things whilst you still can.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
