Does the camera type affect the quality of orthodontic photographs? Mirrorless and smartphone cameras versus digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera
In conclusion, although DSLR and mirrorless cameras consistently produce high-quality orthodontic photographs suitable for all clinical and professional purposes, smartphone cameras fall short in photographic quality. Given their lower resolution and pixel count, smartphone-captured photographs may be adequate for clinical records but are not recommended for large-format applications.
