Re: __ it depends

IMHO there is little to beat real estate when it comes to cameras - sensor real estate that is. Sure a 2016 model APS-C has better IQ than a 5 year old FF, or a 2017 SG8 might have better IQ than a 15 yo APS-C (maybe), but comparing similar generation sensors, generally the bigger the better.

While phone cameras are certainly a lot better than they used to be, even the best phone camera is not going to compete with most 1" sensor cameras, never mind APS-C, and especially in lower light scenarios.

In ideal conditions they can look good, but when the going gets tough, IQ generally falls in a screaming heap. And then there is the relatively non-existant user interface ....

The only time phone cameras are good is when there is not a real camera available - "the best camera is the one you have with you".
