Also high end phones have large, superb quality screens which is how many casual users will actually judge 'image quality'. This gives phones a leg up on user impression.
Not many people printing 24"×36" prints. Even excellent phones look like crap that big but so do many dedicated cameras. Anyone actually making larger than 8x10" prints will want some good camera gear along with a quality phone.
The gear that really makes very large prints that look pro is typically fairly physically big and the lenses are big in order to cover the large sensors and have low distortion. Plus again a big amount of post is usually required that the phone is doing with very advanced software before you even see any image.
The best camera is the one you have with you and these days carrying a phone is already happening. Lugging another fairly large object around is really a hobby or profession.

looking for a basic camera to take on vacations. I usually go on 2 a year so wont be using much. Not into getting into the settings or changing anything. Will this be significantly better than using my iphone camera? $400 for a mirrorless camera sounds like a good deal
For your use case, I think you are better off getting an iphone 17 pro or a high end android. Z30 is not a full frame, and it sounds you won't invest much on s-line lenses. With this setup , 95% the time you get better image out of iphone. For you context: I own z6ii and couple $1k+ lenses,

Yes, it is great for people like you. But even the best or easiest to use cameras aren't beating the latest phone cameras for one who doesn't learn and not buying 1 more lens. You are to pay for a 24mm for $230. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr..._24mm.html. That is $630 all together to beat a phone in most situations need not stabilization. For a traveler, expected to use it outdoors and in well-lighted place, I think in great majority of situations the camera can beat a phone.

What a shame. If needed it cheap, You can beat an iphone 17 pro with an F2Z adapter, 35mm dx, 18-140 dx. That is $400 more and some entry level skill.
^hate to break it to you, but any camera is a "tool" that you have to learn how to use. simply putting it on any automatic modes doesn't mean that it's going to be the right mode for whatever setting you're taking photographs or videos.

- the distortion especially near the corner or edge
- The auto color or contrast adjustment after each shot and there's NO way to revert to the original color. This ruined many photos.
There seems no way to fix these two as long as you use iPhone. However, if one don't care about these, and you probably don't care too much about the image quality, and don't have the need to print large photos, iPhone is good enough for most people.Join The Conversation
