I turn my computer on every day - much better than this smart phone that forces me to backup periodically because I touched the wrong key and made a mistake that auto-correct can't fix.
Good for you. Although those same mistakes can happen on a computer. I’m a programmer by trade and I turn my work computer on every day, but many of the things I did on my home computer are easier on my phone and I can be almost anywhere.

So following the same logic as the OP, since you have a cell phone do your computing easier, that means the doom/death of the desktop computer must necessarily follow as well???

Totally missing the point. Maybe it’s a great cell phone camera, but it’s not gonna replace a good DSLR or MILC for many things.
I agree I missed the point that money, size and weight are no object for you but not the majority of non-pros.
My point is that I have limited budget, and I just want to take decent pictures while viewing on my 40" monitor. I don't want to travel anymore with over $2000 and over 6 lbs of gears.
My point is the P30 Pro while under $1000, it can do just as good picture quality if not better compare to at least $2000 of dslr cameras with lens. So please don't trump me with your $5000 gears.
And the trend of the gap will be widening. This is only my prediction and I don't make a living at predicting.
Of course, it 'might' not be as good as your gear at zoom 100-400, but I think the comparison is not far off, but the phone can do a lot more, besides cost and weight less.
Here, I am talking about the P30 Pro only and not just any smart phone.

For those of us that attended weddings and other formal functions pre the cell phone -even before the smart phone that had cameras- the only camera was the professional paid photographer!! Then came disposable cameras on the table to capture the moment. So much has changed.

Also, please note that there are two FBI issued notifications in 2016 on HUAWEI network hardware stating that the 3800A router had the ability to store and forward client’s transmitted data over the Internet. The concern is real.
With that I will stay with my Nikon!

Have you noted that the US government is tapping other president's conversations of friendly nations.

The US government is eardroping over your US phone but not if you use a Huawei.

And I agree that if YOU can get just as good an image with a P30 Pro as you can with your D610 then you should go ahead and do that. I think most photographers would prefer to work with and get better results with the D610.

The brand of phone has nothing to do with this. I dunno. Maybe you’re a plant from Huawei trying to drum up support for your company. That might explain your tenuous grasp of the English language.

100 years ago, most things that we take for granted today were science fiction. 100 years from now, things we haven't even thought of yet will be in common use. That's the nature of the beast - evolution happens. And so it will be with cameras. We are unable to even imagine in our wildest dreams what will be the state of photography in 100 years or what people will be using to take pictures. Perhaps they won't be taking pictures at all, who knows?
The point is, don't worry about it. If you enjoy using a DSLR, then use a DSLR. If you enjoy using a phone camera because of its size and convenience, then use a phone camera. Neither one of them will be around in 100 years so don't fret about it.

As I said in previous post. Thanks for his support!

One night near Christmas last year I was out walking my dog at night when I saw this and immediately snapped it (top picture).
Then I looked at the shot on my iPhone, ran back home, dropped the dog off, picked up my old D600 and reshot (bottom picture).
Maybe you can tell the difference, maybe not. For me, the camera was worth the effort, and the money, and the carrying gear, and the exposure calculation...
For you, maybe not.

The phone image looks like you encountered a miracle on Christmas.

I am with you. The D600 is definitely the way to go. An iPhone is good if'n you ain't got nothin else but I prefer using a real camera. I have actually seen an iPhone being used for wedding pictures. As they say, "Whatever blows your skirt up."

Took this shot with my iPhone in LaBoe Germany last summer. It’s the only camera I had with me that day. One of my favorite shots of the trip.
