This does not answer the question any more directly than half the answers so far, so please ignore my post if that matters. My use of phone cameras relates to how easily the camera works with high productivity applications. This is more a question of which OS the phone is tied to. The questions you ask are great, however, I use my phone camera for purposes I would not do with a dedicated camera. I love the portability of SOOC pans while hiking, photo "scans" of documents with auto skew and stretch, and fake portrait mode when I should have brought along a real camera. More and more of these special features have been acquired by the big company OS's from independent developers. It's hard to keep up. As good as these phone cameras get, I still see them as handy tools for which I would never give up my quest for a FF MILC so I might someday have a truly adventurous life.

How brilliant, I'd never have thought that! A photographer bringing a camera, such a nouveau idea...

I must say that cellphones not really good at anything - even making phone calls. They are, for instance, hard to hold.
I think of cellphone cameras much like Instamatic of the past. They are OK for utilitarian and a family photo ocassionaly but I much perfer a real camera -even a simple one.

Yet another person who doesn't understand the difference between real and dedicated.
Apparently you don't own a decent modern smart phone. I live in Southeast Pennsylvania and I have a cousin who lives in western Oregon, about roughly 3,000 miles west of me. I call and text my cousin often and we have absolutely no problem communicating with each other. My cousin also uses a smart phone. You are 100% wrong about cell phone not being good at anything, including phone calls. There are people who use smart phones as professional cameras, and I guarantee you could not tell the difference in photos without looking at the exif data. I do agree with you though, I too prefer using a dedicated digital camera to the smart phone camera most of the time as I own a few nice DSLR'S and MILC'S and a whole bunch of Canon, Nikkor, Sigma and Tamron lenses, and I prefer my Canon G1X III Bridge camera as my pocket camera. If I don't have a dedicated digital camera with me, I use my Google Pixel 6.

I'd feel so out of place in a Nikon section as I own far more Canon gear than Nikon gear (D7200, D500, D850, plenty of lenses).

I shoot vertically in both my SLR and phone depending on the subject.

Reading this is almost as much fun as the oil threads on a truck or motorcycle site.

Interesting questions.
I am currently using a Samsung S21-5G and impressed with the quality of pictures it produces.
As far as working with the resulting photos:
1. I can email or text any picture on the phone to anyone.
2. I download ALL Phone Photos to my Desktop every week or two. I do most processing on the larger screen this provides me.
I still use an older Nikon D-3100 with a couple of ZOOM Lenses for more controlled shots,
BUT as has been quoted here before:
The best camera is the one you have with you!
LOTS of candid shots are far more available with the Samsung. The 64 MP ZOOM Lens isn't bad either....

Imagine your life as a successful photographer. Are you using your phone?

Nope, nothing additional.
My S21 is what it is and does what it does.
I just use it and edit the JPEGS with an editor on my computer.
(I DID get it as a phone... Came with a camera.)
