I spend a large amount of my time, both in and out of work, using cameras — from some of the best camera phones to the best mirrorless cameras. As such, I'll admit that it isn't very often that I find smartphone cameras impressive, or even pleasantly surprising.
Don't get me wrong, the cameras in today's smartphones are great for "general use" photography — dog photos, food snaps, family memories, and so on. However, they still cannot replicate the quality or control that a full camera body gives you. What's more, camera phones naturally don't come with many of the features a dedicated DSLR or mirrorless camera will give you.
