- HEIC / HEIF / HEVC
- The image format is called High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) and it’s based on High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). HEVC is also known as H.265 or MPEG-H Part 2.
- After Apple released iOS 11 in September 2017, the default photo file format on the iPhone and iPad was changed from the ubiquitous JPG to a file format known as HEIC. Apple was the first major manufacturer to introduce HEIC, and it created some ripples that are still being felt today.
- How to Convert HEIC to JPG | PetaPixel
- RAW format
- support for RAW format (high resolution, high compression, lossless format) (RAW can be converted to TIFF)
- JPG is a lossy format. In other words, every time you save it, you reduce the quality of the picture. Avoid JPG. However, if you start with RAW or TIF, you should change the file to PNG or JPG before posting it on the Web or sharing the photo in some other way.

- Single-Exposure HDR Photography Terminology - dummies
- What's the Difference Between Raw and JPEG Files? | HowStuffWorks

- Video, HD video recording - at least 1080p video
- support for RAW format

- LG to Unveil New, Flat Smartphone Camera Module at CES - 2022-12-28
- What makes LG's upcoming offering different is that it allows you to zoom in at magnifications of between 4x and 9x without reverting to a digital zoom for the magnifications in between, as current fixed-zoom smartphone cameras do. Digital zooms use software, rather than a lens, to make images bigger, which can significantly reduce image quality.

- electronic viewfinder (EVF)
- SLR = single lens reflex = with a reflex mirror or pentaprism
- have interchangeable lenses
- SLRs/SLDs do not have superzoom lenses - WHY??
- Shutter lag = response time
- SLRs have less/no? shutter lag
- 6 (2-11) fps continuous drive mode (or burst mode) - at full resolution - (frames-per-second)
- fast focus times
- AF tracking = auto focus to keep the subject in focus
- Continuous Tracking autofocus
- advanced Intelligent Auto mode
- 14-lumen projector (optional)
- Sensor
- SLRs have a larger sensor size than superzooms - WHY??
- Why not use better sensors in superzooms?
- a small sensor is what allows such a long focal range lens to be relatively compact
- a larger sensor means larger lenses which lessens the size advantage that many point and shoots have

- Exception: In 2005 Sony came out with the CyberShot DSC-R1. It had a CMOS ASP-C class sensor. 10.3MP, 5xOpticalZoom, 3888*2592, RAW&JPEG - currently about $900, if you can find it on eBay.
