This is true for exactly one kind of photography - the one where we use pictures to capture memories and moments in time. And while I agree that that's a majority for most of us ("99% of us 99% of time", to quote somewhat exaggerating Hugh Brownstone), that's by no means all of it.
The smartphone camera can never "fully" replace an actual camera gear simply because of the choice of lenses and therefore the fields of view that the camera gives us. Optics is somewhat heartless in this respect.
AI and image processing can to a point simulate the feeling that the fixed focal length lenses of these cameras give us, but currently (and for the foreseeable future of at least a decade) they have a tough time going beyond that.
What we see now is the camera market shifting from mass use to a niche. "Prosumers", videographers, YouTubers and such.
- ericmay 4y agoWe bought a dSLR and a specific lens geared toward “point and click” of landscape and travel photos because after traveling to a few places pictures that looked great on a phone did not scale to any large prints or screens. That camera along has produced fantastic photos and I consider it money well spent.
