Answer:
Person A: Person B, photography is clearly a rather expensive hobby.
Person B: How come, Person A? Photography is a wonderful hobby because it isn't expensive.
Person A: For one, to take good, high-quality photos, you need a proper camera which can range from at least $900 to over one thousand. And if photography is your hobby, you most likely would want to aim for the quality of professional photographers, hence being forced to buy a thousand dollar camera instead of using your phone.
Person B: Exactly, Person A. Albeit, that may be expensive, but it's a hobby like you said. We're not aiming for a professionally taken photo, simply a good quality one. We can get that with the latest phones which are focusing on better camera range, magnification, filters, and quality in general.
Person A: And did you bother to check how much the average phone costs in comparison to a camera. The iPhone 12 is almost $999 alone cutting it extremely close to the price of a simple camera. And if we abide by what you said, then having the latest iPhone -- in this case, the iPhone 12 Pro Max -- ensures that we have the best camera coming in at almost the same price as a professional camera.
Person B: Well, an iPhone also has multiple other features, though. On top of a great quality camera, the phone will provide a person with apps, extra storage, custom wallpaper, etc. It's reasonable to charge more for the phone, but a legitimate camera only gives you a camera lens, maybe filters, a few options, and buttons, and that's it. It's evidently normal to charge the same amount as a camera for a high standard phone, proving that it's not expensive.
Person A: One thousand dollars just to take a couple of pictures is not expensive?
Person B: No, it's not. If you use an iPhone, you get the pictures and an added bonus of extra things, too, hence proving that photography is not an expensive hobby.
Person A: But I believe that it is an expensive hobby. Both of us stated incredibly strong points, don't you think?
Person B: Yes, I suppose so. Whether or not photography is an expensive hobby depends on whom is answering the question.
