Not sure how you think a <1MP highly filtered IG photo is better than a 8MP+ smartphone camera photo. It isn't. The "default" smartphone photos are leaps and bounds better than IG, the only thing that will "improve" them is higher res cameras, I'm sure the iPhone 5S will see an 18MP camera with better software. Just look at panorama - that's a serious achievement in smartphone cameras. Sharing photos is a different question/issue all together. 500px is a perfect example of an application that takes advantage of high-quality images, whether taken with a dSLR or not.
