>>3906755>Yeah I’m shooting RAW.What are your main complaints with the RAWs in regard to the image quality?
That is important to know, not for me, but for you because you have choices to make and every device has some compromises. Phones have noisy sensors and fixed/cheap lenses. Cameras upgrade all of that but they also compromise on certain aspects to improve others.
If you aren't bothered by the noise much and just want one or two other features you should optimize your purchase for what you're after. For example a wider FOV, or a telephoto, or you want a pancake lens with high IQ sharpness and very little vignetting/chromatic abberation at a normal FOV. Or you might want a zoom for versatility. If you do a lot of handheld you might like a body with great stabilization but if you want to do landscape stuff a more expensive digital back with more megapixels and a larger sensor will be more important.
Don't focus too much on whether a reviewer says a body is good or better, look at what each has to offer and see pros/cons between optios. A $500 body with a $600 lens can make better images than a $1000 body with a cheap lens.
>One thing is also that I want to separate phone and cameraThis is such an underrated and valid reason many people ignore or fail to see the value of.
>want to shoot a time lapse>"My phone takes great RAWs, let me use that. Genius!">RINGRINGRINGBUZZBUZZBUZZBUZZ>shit I need to make a phone call>I have to go to work, can't leave my phone because I need it with me, damn>oh fuck my login to ____ needs the 2FA code to let me sign in.Even if you just wind up with a second dedicated phone having a separate devices is actually great. Good call.
This is why people still rock iPods to this day. Phones can do it all, but an iPod on a dock connected to your stereo is dependable and the one device to rule them all mindset is cancer.
