Hey /p/eople, what are your thoughts of people using mobile phone cameras when they are just starting out? Do you think they should just try and invest in a cheap DSLR, SLR or even a point and shoot? Or do you think that a phone camera is perfectly fine? If so, what phone do you have and what do you like the most?
This photo was taken on my iPhone 6 a year or so ago.
Thanks for the read.

you should go as long as you can before buying gear until you know what you want
however if you don't have something that can shoot raw or set up for the colors/exposure you want in camera it's pretty tough to explore to get what you want

Thank's a lot :)

is it even worth it to get a cheap (150-200$) compact camera if you have a 2nd rate flagship phone like the p9 or the nexus 6?
It'll just be for cons, food pics, clubs, general bullshit, social media, etc.

as long as a camera phone meets one's needs, it's perfectly fine. even pros sometimes use it for their work. there are also many shooters with a good eye who only use their camera phone.

Is you want reasonable wider angle shots of things that interest you, that you want to be able to share instantly or save for yourself in a personal and handheld archive, then your phone is absolutely fine. Its with you pretty much all the time and sensors these days are good enough to take decent photos, with good light.
Where actual cameras differ is your increased ability to control and compose your photos, both before and after the exposure is taken.
For example, here is a photo I took with a prosumer grade camera of the exact same building in San Fran.
