IDGAF if people rush out and buy DSLR's, I'm just stating a fact about phone cameras vs DSLR's (and why I use it). Yes, it won't fit in your pocket. That's why said I use it "MOST of the time".

OTOH, I had (and still have) several film-SLR's and DSLR's.
and few film rangefinders too. (absolutely best for B&W work, those...)

SLR <-> DSLR
Film compact <-> Digital compact
Phone camera <-> ???

)

Exactly strongm! There are good phone cameras like the 808 PureView, Lumia 1020 and BB Z30. But still not as good as DSLR quality (except for the 808 PureView/Lumia 1020), let alone finetuning, using the lens to zoom in or having a good grip. And those are facts. I'm not against phone cameras. Like I said: I use my DSLR *most* of the time, which means the other times I use phone cameras (the last 7 months Jolla). But it also means I'm not a fan of phone cameras so to me it doesn't really matter whether it gets upgraded or not. Fact is that a DSLR will always be better, no matter how you look at it.
