For operation, no other camera better than smartphone

To take "photos" or "instants" , this camera is not even on par with a smartphone.

That's because NO camera is at the same level of ease as a smartphone offers for quick pictures, or really photography in general.  To say "not even" makes it seem as though this is odd, when it is the norm.

The smartphone represents the nadir of camera operation because it can be any kind of camera you like, with controls where you like them.

Now that smart-phone quality is 8x10 decent there is precious little need for most people to have a camera of any other kind... there is still momentum holding up the camera industry but it's hard to see it lasting.
