answer:Smartphones are sophisticated, and now affordable enough to be nearly ubiquitous. This isn’t 1983.I can reach into my pocket and start recording HD video in under 3 seconds. No lugging a box bigger than my head, fiddling with controls for a few minutes, and waiting for stuff to warm up; just pull it out, two swipes, one press, and BINGO! With that in mind, I am amazed that you are amazed.
