Regarding the camera, I do a lot of backpacking and my phone is my only camera. Upgrading to appreciably better camera tech is something I will do. Example (Pixel 6 phone):
Out of curiosity, what makes you buy another phone instead of buying some entry level photography gear which will undoubtedly give better than a tiny phone sensor?
Is it just the whole "point-and-shoot" thing? Or is it something deeper than that?
For backpacking it's a matter of having to carry it all with you. Most people will likely bring a phone anyway for safety, so no need to carry a heavy camera on top. Also it's another thing to keep charged.
And you have to edit almost all of the pictures afterwards since neither DSLRs nor mirrorless cameras have automated post-processing that smartphones have. I'd love to upgrade my small Fujifilm X-T100 with GCam algorithms and I'd F-KING KILL for pairing it with DxO DeepPRIME denoising algorithm. Heck, these two would be fine additions to my Galaxy Note 9! No wonder @[email protected] uses Pixel 6, it's perfect for a quick snap in good light.
Thanks!
