  this guy, with the “real” camera and the phone camera, but the phone camera is the one I’ve most consistently got on me, because I can’t lug a whole additional piece of hardware around in a camera bag, meanwhile the phone camera pictures are grainy and shitty, and I’d just as soon have a Pixel in my pocket at all times that can take fairly good pictures at all times.

    Fair enough, though modern cameras are much smaller:

      Without the lens, exactly.
      Realistically, cameras can be put into two categories - they either effortlessly fit in your pocket, or don’t, and any that don’t tend to get left home unless you intend to specifically go take photos.

      And if you have a high end smartphone, you probably can’t get a camera that fits in your pocket that would be significantly better.
