Thanks, I'm currently testing it against the new IPhone 13 Pro Max. There was a lengthly discussion on the Hog recently about the Big Boy Camera's versus the Smartphones. Hands down, the Lumix and the IPhone do not compare to these cameras. But, if you are looking for something light to carry and you can take a decrease in image quality, then the IPhone and maybe the Lumix is the way to go. In addition, they are fun to use. Both are just good enough and that's all that matters to me.
I agree, I've taken what I believe to be some of my better shots with my Samsung Note cell phone camera, and I believe the handwriting is on the wall as to the future being the cell phones. By far the greatest money is on cell phone R&D and they are quickly gaining ground. I posted a while ago that it wasnt so long ago that I bet pro photographers preached that digital was nothing but a toy.
