Are phone cameras that good?

I use my phone camera usually to just record something I want to remember for later. Convenience you might say so I don't forget what I was looking at. While at Disney World in 2014 celebrating the cancer free test of our daughter after her Thyroid and lymph nodes were removed earlier in the year I took a few shots with my phone as we were walking through Epcot. I still use my "Big Boy" photo equipment all the time but have learned that a $6,000.00+ a9 Sony or a $150.00 Samsung cell phone sometime the shot is just where you are with what you have. Little PP just to lighten.

Great shots but looks like a lot of PP.

Well done! And, yep, I heartily agree. Photography is more about the photographer than the camera. Your photos prove the point.

Crop a phone pic a little and see what you get. If I personally have a chance to take a pic other than to remember something and don't have my camera, I don't take the pic , end of story.

Photo is as is with little PP to make the picture lighter as I notice photos are darker after posting. This is why I was surprised to see the shots later when we were back in our room and out of the sun, some of the best photos I have seen on a phone.

I don't claim to have a good memory in fact it's horrible . I meant to remember something I meant as to show a clerk in a store a model # etc. Not to mention the shutter lag on a phone.

Ansel Adams gold me once, "if you can't make it bigger or more important, don't push the button, just remember it for want it was".
If he said it, it must be true.

Bobsisk, well put. As a saying goes the most important thing about taking a photo is the 12 inches behind the camera. Thanks for your reply.

The camera in my iPhone 6s is far better than my first digital camera, but the one in my son's iPhone 7 blows my mind. It's definitely in the P&S category and I don't know if he has any manual control capabilities (if so, he does not use them), but he regularly shows me images I cannot believe came from a phone.

Wow, your smartphone has produced some very nice images, I have a Nexus 5x, I think it has a 12mp rear camera, I get some very nice images, enlarged to 8x10, they look very sharp and crisp.

Nice photos, that being said, how do you put your cell phone on a tripod with out a dodad, that is the problem with a cellphone, they take great photos in good light but it is a fixed lense, a small sensor and to do anything else with it you need to hook up a come sy amah dodad. I go back to the time I was photographing a forth of July fireworks show, people were using cell phons and tablets but how do you hold them for 8 seconds to get the photo that I will post.

True, cell phone cameras have come a long way since the early days, and they can take very good pictures, provided the users knows how to use them properly.
