In truth, the Canon is a much better $999 camera than the iPhone.

And the iPhone is infinitely better at phone calls, texting, email, web browsing etc., etc., etc. Oh, and it works with my Apple Watch which is the best piece of tech ever invented. My R cameras can't do that.

So comparing just on the camera/video functionality is silly really.

I've got a complete set of FF L lenses and R cameras and while not doubt they can beat my iPhone 13 on ultimate quality, the iPhone does so much more and for many photo/video tasks is perfectly suitable.

I'm not really much of a video person, but I've decided all my videos will be shot on my iPhone. Mind you I'm not trying to shoot the next Gone With The Wind, but it works for my meager uses. Photo duty will be split between the phone and dedicated cameras.

A side point - the camera makers really need to make their cameras connect to users phones seamlessly. Since starting to use my iPhone for more phot stuff, I've realized just how useful having location data for each photo is. Most cameras can do this in some form but many aren't convenient. Canon actually does better than the Olympus, Panasonic and Sony cameras I have, but there's room for improvement.

Good grief. It is juvenile to change the subject in order to try to make someone seem wrong

Yes, we all know what the iPhone can do. And it’s a very good camera. But its image quality simply is not better than a quality dedicated camera. It’s much more convenient, so when it’s good enough, great. But that doesn’t mean it can meet any kind of professional video production standard. It simply cannot.

But if it meets your needs and you like it… GREAT! Nothing wrong with that at all. My wife and I use our iPhones all the time. Everybody does. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm not sure everyone does - 100% Android in my place.

It’s an interesting comparison and it shows the phone can give usable video and with minimal effort. I'd think it's easier to share and it will be able to edit to come extent on the phone platform.

No argument that iPhone and Android make great video and are more convenient than a DSLR. I didn’t think that was the subject and I didn’t say the phones are bad, just that the dedicated cameras can produce better stills and better video.
