Also worth noting the huge pure profit margins on the touted flagship smartphones. Personally I'm convinced smartphones (primarily Apple and Pixel) are doing amazing things on their primitive sensor / lens configurations with computational imaging but also the graphical user interface, automation of routine photography, and even opening devices up with API's for 3d party developers to produce alternative software for the same hardware. I think that will increasingly find it's way into "serious" cameras, which still largely resemble 1980s PCs. There are some fairly crude examples, e.g. the Zeiss running Android in a limited way, my guess is some real breakthroughs are on the horizon for mirrorless cameras.
