Agreed, up to a point. I think it mostly depends on what results you are looking for, or actually need. This comparison by Ken Rockwell is worth reading, particularly the final section titled ‘recommendations’There is a massive difference between a good quality dslr/mirrorless camera and a compact or phone camera and that is the size of the sensor. If you are serious about photography you should always use a camera with a decent size sensor. It matters not just how many pixels Apple or Samsung manage to squeeze onto a phone camera sensor it is too small for serious photographs. If you wanted something small and light that can still take brilliant pictures you can buy an Olympus EP1 second-hand off eBay for not a lot of money if you can live without a viewfinder. They are capable of stunning photos.
