Definitely no hope. Some people will continue to poo-poo phones until they expire. 
Them, or the phones?

Pry my Z7 and 58mm f/0.95 from my dead fingers...

I have a Samsung s20 ultra which has the awesome camera and I compared the pictures taken with DSLR with prime lenses. Used the same subject, lighting and background.
To my naked eye, there's not much difference. Have any of you noticed that phenomenon? In that case, may be I should just carry my cell phone for vacations etc..

I have an Iphone 11 pro Max which I use everyday to take photos, but this one I would not be able to take it with my phone. I used my DSLR with a 150-600 mm lens, in low light. I am satisfied using my phone camera everyday, and I am well pleased with my DSLR. Every one has its moment and purpose.

...so, you like the lens, no auto focus, right?

I want something that will spit out raw files so I can process them in Lightroom. I don't own a cell fone and so I don't know if they generate raw files but my guess is that they don't.
At least every model from the Galaxy S7 on up is capable of generating a JPEG and a RAW file every time one takes a shot.

Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you set-up your tripod, focus on the subject, figure out the exposure, and turn off the stablization, it's too late.

COOL! How do I get to keep the RAW from my S-10 so I can use it??

You should buy the camera you are willing to carry, you want to carry and enjoy using.

If people don't see the jaw-dropping impact in these, well, there's simply no hope for you 🙄
Learn the limitations, such as dynamic range or low-light issues or how large you can print, as mentioned - just as you would with any camera that's not top tier.

That link did not work. But I googled and found these. These are the landscape winners. Jaw-dropping. https://mobilephotoawards.com/landscapes-winners-9th-annual-mpa/
When I bought my iPhone 8 Plus the salesman raved about the two lenses and camera capacity of that camera and I simply wasn't interested because......real photographer and all. Have my own expensive equipment, blah blah blah. After a year of two of owning it I started using it for a shot or two now and then and was blown away. Then I took more and more. Now I'm about to upgrade to an 11 because I've seen its low light capabilities. I still shoot Nikon D750 and D500 DSLRs with my Tamron 150-600 for birding, 70-200 2.8's, etc but I often use my iPhone for short lens shots. Does my Nikon have more pixels - yes. But I also have Topaz Gigapixel in my arsenal in case I shoot something with fewer pixels that I need. As a 67 year old woman I don't want to carry two big cameras anymore - one with telephoto lens and one with landscape lens. Do what works for YOU! Cell phones today rock, depending on what you do with them! I see plenty of crap shots taken with them, too, so it's STILL THE PHOTOGRAPHER that matters!

😀 😀 But it was the gear - Smartphones! Obviously ordinary cellphones can take only ordinary pictures. And be sure to get a really smart Smartphone!
