I do some work in an aeronautical museum and I have noticed about 80%of pictures taken are with a phone and about 10% with a tablet.The camera is in the minority and of those using a camera about 80% are with a point and shoot.It is rare to see a good SLR.

Phone cameras are the wave of the future and I wouldn't be surprised to see the demise of the SLR in about 20 years.
Kind of like film.

That's often because crooks photograph the locks.

I work (volunteer) in a railroad museum. I would guess that 50% of the pictures visitors take are on smart phones, 5% (at most) on tablets, 25% on P&S cameras and the rest on system cameras (μ4/3, mirrorless, SLR). It is sad, however, that less than 1% of the users of higher end cameras know how to hold or operate their cameras properly. This afternoon, a visitor was complaining that he could not get a good picture with his DSLR. After getting his permission to help, I closed his flash and turned his mode dial from Auto to Program. His pictures immediately improved. This was not a cheap camera and the lens was a top end 35mm. I borrowed his camera, flipped it to Aperture Priority, increased the ISO two stops and took several pictures of his family in front of three exhibits, one of which required a +2 compensation. They weren't works of art, but I thought he was going to cry when he saw the clairity of his children's faces. He thanked me, then switched the camera back to Auto.

I have been very happy with some of the photos that I get with my iPhone 6s. Who knows what the future brings.

There would be a case in saying that anyone who just uses an Iphone has no place on this forum. Hold on-before you write me nasty things, I'm not saying it.I just said there could be a case.

Valid point. Maybe an iPhone section to keep them in their place.

Don't think it will take 20 years to get rid of the mirror box and mechanical shutter.
I can't think of anyone in my circle of friends, relatives or acquaintances other than myself that owns a DSLR.
I wonder how many Hoggers don't own a DSLR.

What did you expect him to do? At least he knows which end of the camera to point at the subjects, probably little else.
