Never before has so much fidelity been available in cameras that are so small and so inexpensive. Almost all technical barriers to good photography have been removed. Phones have good enough cameras to take credible photos for most purposes. The only discussions that need to be had about photo tech involve what tool is best for a given application. Content is king.
Why are you still shitposting about gear?

thats literally gearfagging, dude.
you killed your thread before it even started, 8/8 m8.
Blah blah blah
The best camera is the one you have with you
Blah blah blah
Still don't understand why people make bait threads they're always so obvious to spot

There's figuring out what will work for what you want to do, and then there's insisting that nothing can work but your toolset, and then attempting to apply that to everything.

Not meant to be a bait thread. It's just that so much of the gear talk and rivalries here seem pointless.

I have a fullframe digital, an APS-C digital, and a bunch of film cameras.The argument isn't that a phone will cover any application (though it will cover most), the argument is that there's so much good gear out there that's all performing on such a high technical level that there's not much point in fighting over any of it.
Especially when you look at the kinds of photos people post in threads here.

digital doesn't even not look like shit yet. it's way too soon to say that we've made it, we're done, the technology is mature and stable. So, yes, there is still plenty of room for preference and discussion, you fucking gearfag.

I'm sorry your digital process sucks. Hope you get better soon.

i can get an apsc with fast prime for less.

Nobody buys a smartphone just for the camera. The point is that you always have this device with you anyway, and it happens to have a totally viable camera in it.
Unless you're a no-smartphone snowflake, anyway.

i'm sorry about your visual illiteracy.

That's why nowadays every single kid is a "photographer". When I started doing photography as a professional back in 1986 it was widely appreciated job, weddings, parties etc. you had to call somebody to come and take pictures of you and your friends
