I am still using Canon DSLRs and also have the Samsung S22 Ultra mobile phone.

I've recently returned from 5 weeks in New Zealand photographing scenery, waterfalls, animals, museums, watersports etc. and my 18 month old granddaughter. Some subjects were taken on the phone, some on a camera, and some on both.

The phone photos looked stunning on the phone screen, much better than on the camera screens, which are, of course, much smaller. However, on my return home, and selecting keepers and discards, where both were used for the same subject the cameras (with their "L" lenses) were definitely the keepers.

Now I have been a photographic society member for over 40 years and instinctively I do look for the best possible quality, even for my holiday photos which will probably never be entered in a competition. So I admit to being fussy and understand those who feel that phone photos are getting good enough to satisfy many people. But for now they remain a very good second best. I believe they always will, as the parallel technologies both continue improving.

Finally, even on the best mobile phones, with their "Pro" settings, the degree of personal input away from the auto settings falls far short of a DSLR or Mirrorless camera.

My club had a January challenge wherein people would post the same composition, or as close as that human can do it, one taken by their smartphones and the other with their best digital camera.
Some were lower cost cameras and older iPhones etc. but several sets had the latest from Google and Apple. These were up against Sony and Fuji full frame mirrorless.
We could choose one or the other or choose " too close to call"
The shots taken in low light had the smartphones almost 2 to 1. Granted no flash was used on any.
The shots where a greater DoF was expected the cameras had it 1.5 to 1.
Others had too close to call as the most frequently made choice.
We all know the advantage of the smartphones starting with the old adage the best camera is the one you have with you as well as its multipurpose function such as texting and even talking.
So if you have a similar experience I'd love to read your reply. If you would like to speculate could you kindly post your own topic.
Thanks

I am currently judging a state high school TSA (Technology Student Association) photography competition. Each student submits 5 photographs on a general theme and each photo must include camera make/model and basic metadata. As I begin to judge each students entry I first quickly scan the photos. Without exception, at a glance I can tell when 90+% of them were taken with a cell phone. Some of the entries are truly exceptional and I would have been proud to have taken any of them but of the hundreds I have examined so far not one was from a phone. Several phone shots are very well composed incorporating nice leading lines or use of the rule of thirds but they are almost always cropped and lose resolution/get noisy/blur/etc.

In fairness, I expect that the students using phones are not as dedicated to photography as the are to getting a trip to Athens.
