The invention discloses a method for taking photos through different field angle cameras and a terminal to acquire high-quality photos. The method comprises the steps that the imaging amplifying multiple required by a user at present is judged, one camera in the different field angle cameras is started to carry out shooting according to the relation between the imaging amplifying multiple required by the user at present and the multiple threshold, and the taken photos are output after digital zoom is carried out. According to the method, one camera in the different field angle cameras is started to carry out shooting according to the relation between the imaging amplifying multiple required by the user at present and the multiple threshold, and then digital zoom is carried out on the taken photos. Due to the fact that the field angles of the cameras are different and the obtained photos are different in definition, when the different field angle cameras are selected to take photos according to the difference of the photo amplifying multiple of the user, the photos are good in photo quality, and the high-quality photos can be obtained.
