There really is no comparison to the photos from my new Panasonic G7, to say nothing of my trusty Nikon. So while it's definitely true that the cellphone can't be beat for portability, for those who still care about quality, the cellphone is still not up to the task.

I wouldn't speak so soon. Check out the detail on this bird (iPhone 7)

And the next generation of phones will combine information from multiple sensors. The next Samsung phone is rumored to have an UWA lens equivalent to 10mm. Wider than anything in the M43 system.

I don't care much about the UWA option but the bird looks great! I don't really shoot much with my cell phone and I wonder if even I had something better (like presumably this iPhone is) if I'd end up shooting much with it as I don't like the experience as much as with a dedicated camera. Still, I have nothing against cell phone photography and in fact I love the idea that something so tiny is capable of capturing so much detail... We're living in the future!
Nice photo...
