Much better than my iPhone 6s which is only 8mp. Thank you for the info.

Modern phone cameras are amazing, but are lacking in image quality. My wife's phone has 10X optical zoom which is pretty handy. But, when you download the images to a computer, the shortcomings are quite evident. However most people are satisfied with looking at their images on the phone screen, so they are not aware of the lack of image quality that most photographers seek. To me comparing a phone image to a DSLR is like comparing a 110 to a 35 MM.

I still use my full-frame DSLR with a telephoto lens for wildlife photos, but for landscapes I am very happy with my iPhone 11 Pro - will be upgrading to a 13 Pro very soon. It has macro capabilities and greater image stabilization. Attached are some iPhone photos from my recent vacation in Downeast Maine.

A skilled photographer/graphics editor can create excellent images with just about any format. My point is to make people aware that phone camera technology is accelerating faster than any previous format...its not your father's cell phone.

The way I see, ML + Phones will kill DSLRs, then phones & AI will destroy ML cameras...give it 10 years. AI will equal the playing field very quickly.

I didn't post this in the Smart Phone forum because I wanted to reach the people that are likely not to know about phone camera capabilities. I may end up there any way.

The 2 images were taken with a phone released in 2019 and is currently 3 generations behind the top models.

The distance to subject is about 25 feet. The first image is the normal view, the second is 10X zoom. Both are SOOC.

My point is the phones are steadily climbing the camera ladder and most probably will reach the point soon where they will be on par or better than all but the professional models with astronomical price tags.

I paid less than $500 for my phone.

I own two of Sony's best cameras (not A1) and have no intention of selling but my next camera up grade will definitely be a phone camera.

That is truly amazing.

I think Joer is kidding himself phone camera cannot do a fraction of what DSLRs and mirrorless can do.
they are a convenient way of taking snaps and nothing more and I for one will never be cnvinced of that.
what is forgotten is that a photgrapher produces works of art with his camera or cameras where as the person using the phone camera is taking snapshits and nothing else the guy is fooling himself but not fooling the rest of us .
