>>1289907A lot of phone cameras are quite good--it's just most people just stick with the automatic mode and don't tinker with anything on their phone cam except maybe focusing whenever hte picture is blurry. And for many people that's enough.
If your phone has a manual mode, I'd recommend you try tinkering with it. Focusing distance, white balance, ISO number, shutter speed--get familiar with its capabilities so you can use it to the best of its abilities. Phone cameras even out three or four or even five years ago now had twelve megapixel capacity with additional ability to select among 16:9, 4:3, or 1:1 picture sizes.
All that being said it's sometimes nice to have a dedicated camera--but that just means you'll be hauling around batteries and a charger, extra memory card or two just in case, and a case if you're not one of those wahoos that slings DSLR's around their neck like a five pound necklace. Up to you in the end, Anon. Use your phone cam and drain your batteries extra quick but with a system that is fool proof, or use a dedicated camera but need to learn that system and pack a debatably small amount of weight more.
