The phone is easier to carry and use; and in the hands of a decent photographer, capable of very acceptable, printable, enlargeable images.
I will not give up my DSLR’s, but I am not in denial about the convenience and quality of the latest cellphones.

With total respect, I am inclined to believe that those who deny the quality of images produced with cell phone cameras simply do not have sufficient unbiased experience with one.
I could be biased as well.

I don't think he's trolling. He said:
"My camera group is going to have a discussion of the topic ..."
He just wants to pick the HOG brains ahead of time so he will sound like the smartest person in the group.

Back in the day when everybody knew otherwise, you probably thought 35mm film could produce acceptable images. It obviously wasn't true or it wouldn't have been replaced by zeros and ones.

I have big problems using the camera in the phone. It's so difficult although the quality is good.

The modern phone has such prodigious computing power that they can do all kind of processing, but they are handicapped by physical lacks - no mechanical shutter, limits on lenses.

I couldn't agree more!
Here is a little gallery of some great examples of images taken with cellphones.

I wonder how many of the curmudgeons complaining that cellphone cameras aren't real cameras will actually take a look, even if out of just plain curiosity, at either of these two links.
Cellphones are real, accessible, a wonderful teaching tool to learn lighting and composition without needing to fiddle with camera settings, and with third party apps you have excellent control over exposure settings. Top this off with applications like Snapseed - you have a very capable camera in your pocket, and an excellent tool to make creative visual images.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt . . . Just sayin'

Trolling? Don't care for them, won't carry one. A limited device for photography compared to a quality camera. If that were the only means for me to take photos, I'd abandon a much loved avocation of better than 60 years.
Yes. If only SmartPhone digital, I'd start using my two 4x5" film cameras regularly again.

I never said anything about the quality of images produced by cell phones. I just said to me they are not real cameras. That's just my opinion. I have had plenty experiences with cell phones with cameras. I have had Blackberry, Apple, Samsung and others. And my experience with them is biased, I don't like them.
I like my cameras to have real tactile controls, not have to set everything by touching a screen.

I just got an iPhone 11 pro. It will never replace my DSLR but, like most, I don’t carry it around everywhere, every day. I have to say the camera capabilities of this new iphone has blown my mind a little. Having the three lens set up is great and the night mode is fantastic. I just got it so I’m still in learning mode right now. I love my DSLR but, depending on the circumstance, the phone is often the best camera because it’s the one I have with me.
