Well, I expect it is non-typical to receive a request for a follow-up after the intro has been botched with an impenetrable and indeciferable diatribe.......but then I expect you and I are each a little bit non-typical. So, I'll stir around the pot here and see if I can come up with a couple bones that have been simmered free of the savory meat.

The attitude that a camera with phone capability is just an irritating thing to resort to in an emergency may be a serious impediment to devoting time to learn, familiarize and use the capable range of that camera for real, non-casual photos in non-emergency practice sessions....thusly, winding up ill-prepared to fully make use of it when an emergency arises.

The attitude that a camera with phone capability is just an intruder and usurper trying only to supplant bigger gear, may be like maintaining the stance I have no need for a lawn mower because I have a Lear jet.....Toro?....HA! I've got a Lear!

The attitude that a camera with phone capability doesn't deserve quality time in practice and proficiency pursuit may be like thinking I don't need to know much about being familiar with operating and maintaining that stinkin' Toro, I've got a Lear jet.

The attitude that the form factor of a camera with phone capability is unbearably, unsuitably retarded because it is different than that of an interchageable lens camera, may be like maintaining the stance that the form factor of that stinkin' Toro is unbearably, unsuitably retarded because it isn't like the form factor of the Lear jet.

The attitude that I have to get the latest generation of the most expensive camera with phone capability because my pictures may not be as good as Whizzbang Jones is gonna get with his newest acquisition, may be like thinking I have to go get a Husqvarna lawn mower because the dull, nicked, out-of-balance blade on my stinkin' old Toro doesn't cut as well as that sharp blade on Whizzbang Jones' shiny new Husqvarna mower.

The attitude that I have to go get the latest, fanciest camera with phone capability because it is always gonna give me pictures as good as what I get from my ILC, may be like maintaining I gotta go get that new Husqvarna mower now because it mows the lawn better than the Lear jet does.....and besides I haven't been able to operate that new Lear as well as I'm sure I can operate that new Husqvarna.

There are more bones down here in the pot, but I've got quite a pile of savory meat over here in this bowl now, an' it's callin' to me......it's sayin' just leavin' it sittin' out in the bowl like that may be like refusin' to stir in some of those boiled, simmered veggies, add a little more seasonings, and then givin' it some attitude that McDonalds take out is even in the same league.

First off, this comment is in no way intended to be confrontational nor
belligerant, even though it is entirely possible some will choose to misconstrue it
as being so.

Some of the included pics were done by a secondhand (or is it third-, fourth-, or
fifthhand? I have no idea) DSLR, the others were done by a camera that includes
phone capability. Which are which?
None of the equipment is newer than nine or ten years old. Not including the
cost of memory cards, the total funds tied up in the digital picture taking devices
are significantly south of $850.00 U.S. None of the picture taking devices have
sensors with pixel counts that will satisfy the demands of pixel-peeping gurus.

There are two cameras with phone functions. Each has only one lens, not
multiples. Each has manufacturer-set automatic settings operations.

One of the cameras with phone capability will allow the operator to set white
balance, ISO, +2 - -2 exposure compensation, shutter speed from 1/2000 - 1/2
second, choose dng and jpeg output, and, with careful difficulty, manual focus.
The other will allow the operator to select a focus area within the frame, and has
a slider which allows imprecise adjustment of exposure, though there is no
indication if it is shutter speed, ISO or what is being changed by that slider; it
produces only jpeg output.

Neither of the cameras with phone capability has image stabilization
technology. If I do not have a tripod with phone clamp attachment along, I
steady the camera on a rock, or stump, or tree branch, or fence post, or log, or
fuel can, or jerry rig, or tool handle, or a wish and a prayer.

The cameras with phone capability have not been regarded as an unfortunate
make-do, since the time a photographer with over four decades professional
experience counseled me to learn all I could about picture taking while using the
camera with phone capability, since at the time it was the only picture taking
method I had available.

Each of the three picture taking instruments has selectable scene modes. I've
never tried any of them.

Perceivable differences in the pics:
-- are those the results of differences in the picture taking apparatus format in
use, pitting outdated, never above bottom mid-level mirrorless fixed lens, fixed
aperture cameras against an outdated once-okay/so-so, never above bottom-
rated DSLR?
-- are those due to the fact the hillbilly, untrained picture taker has maaaaybe 40 weeks
total accumulated time in digital photography and post-camera
processing, spread out over the past 5 years, or so? Would 45, 50, 60 years
experience and hours of training be enough to transform the bumbling, dorky
hillbilly into a real photographer who could step into a scene and instantly know
what the optimum camera settings and perspective and compositional
imperatives for that particular scene are? Would newest tech and more
expensive doodads instantly elevate the bumbling, dorky hillbilly's pic results
into an equally elevated class of worth above the present knowledge and experience level? Or, would there only be a continuation of mediocre results
backed by more time spent and a higher stage of technolgy acquired through
the expenditure of many months' or years' worth of hard-earned moolah which
should have been put to better use?

In a reply to me in another thread earlier today, hawgster 'burkphoto' very nicely
put into words something that seems to be a part of the push and pull inside me
that makes me wish for more available time and greater experience in this
photography interest:
•• "I'm interested in getting results. I'm interested in seeing results. I'm okay with
how you got your image, if it moves me or communicates with me, and your
methods weren't illegal, unethical, immoral, or fattening." ('burkphoto' quote) ••

(Shameful apologies to the offended, venerated, experienced, advanced,
equipped, distinguished, elevated folk who are sadly forced to endure such an
underwhelming, little kids table post amongst the exclusively desired, never-
less-than worthwhile, estimable Big Boy posts in the Main Photography
Discussion section.)

Firs of all, the screen will not show the shortcomings of the pictures you posted, second you didn't even select "store original" so we could view them full size.

When printing pictures the "shortcomings" will be much more obvious.
Like your post, this may seem confrontational to some, though that is not my intention either. If your happy, go for it.

I don't care what you use to take photos, though I hate using a phone to take pictures, I'm just not comfortable holding the camera out in front of me when taking a photo...Just doesn't "feel" right. I don't use the lcd on the camera either (unless shooting at a very low, or very high angle where I can't see the viewfinder).

You do as you please
