Yeah, there's no way any phone camera will compete with any decent DSLR/Mirrorless, but it's the convenience factor of always having the phone in my pocket.
A photo opportunity that I've always regretted not taking was on my way to work one morning in a village not far from the big hangers at Cardington in Bedfordshire. As I drove into the village that morning the moon was still in the sky, just above a line of trees and there was one of the airships from Cardington just above the moon. It looked like the moon was suspended from the airship. I wished that I'd had my camera with me!
