Re: cell phones making M4/3 and DSLRs obsolete

If cell phones get so good I don't need real cameras, great!!!  Less things to carry around and clutter up life with.  But I am not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

On bright sunny days with a wide angle perspective my Samsung S7 can take some surprisingly good pictures.  But in dim light things go downhill fast and I don't want to be limited to having a wide angle lens and nothing else.

The ubiquity of using cell phones as cameras has lowered standards.  I have even heard  people say sharp photos without vibrant colors look fake, posed or unnatural.  Particularly if you do something crazy like blur the background with a fast lens.
