Exactly what "gets the shot" whilst I'm fumbling to change settings on the DSLR

I can't recall the last time I fumbled to change settings on a dslr, but whenever I try to use my daughters iPhone to take a. pic it is a slow process, for her too for that matter
:o

Then you must have pleeeeennnnttttttttttyyy of time when taking your shots. My very cheap smartphone automatically switches to multishot when keeping the shutter depressed.

Nope. Not necessary to have lots of time. I use the CL mode on my x-T2 and am perfectly capable of utilizing the various assignable function buttons to things that I want/need/like to change. I process in RAW when I don’t need to use the jpg for a quick image distribution and use Bridge to determine which captures have the best focus and/or exposure. No time drain for me.

My camera, just like your phone, automatically switches to burst because I leave my camera on burst. The number of photos I take depends on how long I press the shutter release. .

If you find your huge dslr gets the required results, then by all means be my guest. I'll keep my XA5 for what it does really well: low light.

I don't have a really large DSLR.

My point was that there is nothing incredible about your phone automatically switching to multi-shot, when leaving your camera on burst accomplishes the same thing.
