A few years ago, I started taking photos with my phone. Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3, and Galaxy Note 4. It's not terrible, and most people seem to approve, but there's always been an underlying drive to improve in the photography department. The bulky nature of SLR cameras sometimes be off-putting. I was all set to purchase a Canon 1100D a few years back, but they managed to talk me out of it. As a result, I've made up my mind. By consulting online discussion boards, I decided on the Sony a6000 and the Olympus OMD e10. I was able to try out both cameras in the store, and after comparing their speeds and level of clarity, I found that the Sony was the clear winner, despite my preference for the Olympus's more compact form factor. I felt silly that the screen wouldn't turn on by itself (What, am I a secret video blogger?) but the consultant let me mount my phone to the camera so I could view the feed on my phone's screen. Ultimately, I decided to purchase it, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. It takes practice to produce decent photos, but the video quality is always excellent. Two weeks later, I stumbled across two novel approaches of powering the camera on the go. You can either use an otg cord from your phone or a portable charger, both of which are almost always in your possession (very convenient, of course, if the phone has a good amount of battery)
