I have the Iphone 7 and recently took pictures on a golf course. They came out beautifully. Cannot crop too much though before it turns to pixels. I also have a Canon SX710 point and shoot, takes good pictures outside, but inside it is disappointingly grainy if I use higher than ISO 400. The Iphone takes better pictures in low light. Personally, I wouldn't buy a point and shoot if you have a good camera phone.

I just had to replace my phone, and got Google's new Pixel. Photo taken the other day on the way to work.

There is currently an ad on TV for the Motorola MotoZ Droid which has an attachment with a Hasselblad zoom. I have no idea how that would affect quality, but I doubt that Hasselblad would put their name on something that wasn't high quality.
The reviews have not been the best. In the reviews they indicated that the image quality should have been emphasized more than the ease of use.

Interesting and thanks. I have never used anything like this before and will need to check it out!

Both Sony and Olympus have a similar product. Essentially it is a self contained camera with quality lens but no viewfinder or screen. It uses a phone for that. A friend has one of the Sonys and does well with it. It succeeds at combining the optics and sensor of a RX100 with the software and sharing features of his phone.
There are several of these out there. Most like Sony and Kodak have 5X or 10X zooms on them And some have sensors smaller than 4/3rds. Olympus decided to differentiate themselves by using the same 16 mp sensor as the E-M5 and E-M10. The Olympus Air O-1A has the ability to use any of the 85+ lenses for 4/3rds cameras. It is not designed to replace any of the 4/3rds cameras. It is to be used as an enhancement for cellphones and their imaging. Just think, instead of having just two lenses or a very small sensor zoom like most cellphone designs are going, one can have a 4/3rds sensor and an assortment of lenses for their cellphone and for their 4/3rds camera at the same time. Over all, quality wise / performance wise, the in-cellphone cameras cannot totally match the 4/3rds sensors.

I'm impressed! Nice photo, but I am using a Trak Phone which is a Samsung (not sure what version) but the camera is mediocre, so I will stick with my DSLRs for most work and use my Canon G-15 as a walk around backup.

Many older cellphones with lesser pixel counts can not be compared to the 12 to 16 mp of todays cellphones. Some of the pictures from my extremely old 1 mp cellphone are hard to determine what some of the things are that are in the picture. First, there is the pixel count. Second, there is the technological advances in the making of the sensor's pixels. And third, there is the advancement of the software for the processing of the image. If and when you upgrade your cellphone, I think you will be surprised by the actual image quality one can have in the palm of there hand.
