Cell phone not a real camera?
It must be because it's

The camera in my new 5G cellular telephone produces images of 12 megabytes. Of course, I still prefer photographs using my Canon 6DII with the Sigma 100-400mm lens mounted to it. The 5G camera cannot match that combination but does provide a useful alternative for some photography.

A real camera is the one that records the image. A friend once said of early cell phone cameras, tape a point and shoot to a bulldozer or use a cell phone? Not much difference. Better than only the memory of what you saw.

Hence why most of us put “real” in quotation marks.

Not enough though.

I don't discount phone cameras at all.

As in "I have a real camera. ough!, ough!, ough!"?
Sad.
Who cares with what camera it was taken, or if someone spent hours getting it just right in an editor.
I don't, I care about the <resultant> picture merits.

Exactly!!!
I've often questioned the need to announce/declare what camera and lens were used to take a photograph. It's the final "print" that matters.
It's much the same with posting exposure data. Unless it's an instructional video, that information is useless, as well.

Only if I'm going to that place at the same time of day, with the same camera & lens, composing the same shot, under the same weather conditions... Not!

[quote=robertjerl]"real camera" = a dedicated camera with more features than the cameras built into most cellphones.
However the cellphone cameras are generally very good basic cameras. So good, and handy, that they have destroyed the low end of the camera market.

True. But I continue to use my old & trusty Nikon Coolpix S2. All of 5 MB. Great for macros, weather-safe, with the zoom kept entirely inside. Good looking, too!

Even then, without knowing my exposure techniques and, even more importantly, my processing techniques coupled with those exposure techniques, one would be at a loss to duplicate the photograph.
