The Death of Photography
The photography industry is dying, and it's all because of that little device that has invaded our modern lives: the smartphone. The company Sharp released the first camera phone in Japan in 2000, not knowing that they would inspire a whole generation of change. Of course, these photos were low-resolution and of no real value. Through the early and mid 2000s, camera phones were used to capture quick snapshots of memories and moments, just for the sake of nostalgia. When one of the earliest of smartphones, the original iPhone, hit the shelves in 2007, it featured 2 megapixel camera with no flash or autofocus. (This is compared to the iPhone 7, which has a 12 megapixel camera with flash, autofocus, and a whole suite of features to improve your photos.) Camera phones were an absolute revolution — you could take photos whenever and wherever, so long as you had your phone.

All About Aperture
So you want to learn about aperture? First off, we're gonna have to start with what part of the lens the "aperture" actually is. When you look into your lens past the layers of glass you'll be able to see several triangular almost ocean wave shaped pieces of metal that form a hole; these are called "blades." They move in and out to make the hole in the middle smaller or larger which in turn controls how much light is let into the camera.

SJCAM SJ7 Star Action Camera Review
Things certainly have changed over the past few years in the action camera market. A few years back there was GoPro and everything else was simply inferior. Sure you could get cheap GoPro knockoffs, but what you saved in money, you lost in quality and durability.
