I’m thinking about getting a phone just to use as a camera but I don’t want to spend too much on it since that’s basically my only use for it.
I also considered buying a low(ish) cost digital camera, but I’m planning on using the timer feature a lot. This means I really want a camera that is very “hand-holdy” so it can take good quality pictures without needing to see the screen/viewfinder/etc, which is why I thought a used phone might be a good option.
What are some cheap phones that have good quality cameras and camera software that don’t necessarily need to have a strong processor or other flagship features?
I thought about that, but since this is for a photo wall type situation (where there are props and things and you take your picture), I want the photo taking to be as automated as possible since people would be using the timer feature a lot. I’d be concerned that the autofocus wouldn’t be correct, or something else that causes the photo to come out poorly if a real camera was used (without a dedicated operator).
If it wasn’t for that, a standalone camera would be suitable (depending on the price).
