The death of the P&S camera, but nothing with a small sensor can match a recent DLSR or "mirrorless" body paired with a decent lens.

Personally, I stopped carrying my P&S camera once I bought my Note 8 because under most situations the Note 8 could do just as good a job - but I still use my DSLRs for serious shooting.

The S20 Ultra is a big jump ahead of my Note 8, and I plan to either by this or the Note 20 (waiting for the details on the Note 20) - but I'll still use my SL1 for my travel camera and my 5D MKIV for serious shooting.

It's the projected, and there are not enough samples or real world stuff to tell, but  from their limited online results the death bell of the camera IS ringing. I've ranged (chronologically) from Oly Prosumer Digital to Canon with 5DMKII, then Rebels, Panny's, Fujis, Sony compacts and others.  If I can get decent quality with a 108 mega cell that has 100X zoom, and fits in my pocket on tour (I'm Travelshooter) why on earth would I lug a 5DMKII and a backpack full of glass on a 4 or 6 hour ground excursion to places packed with people where it is tough to even get a shot that isn't congested.?
