The cameras on most decent smartphones are pretty good, why do you want to carry a camera around also?

The main reason I wanted one was after trying to zoom and crop some old pictures taken with compact cameras and phone cameras and seeing the amount of noise and pixellation when zooming in just a small amount.
That and having more control over depth of field, exposure time, etc.
I think I am going to have to find a good book / take a short course to remind me of how to use all of the functionality though.Comment

I still love my S2s, S3s and S5s for their film like qualities, but they were a commercial disaster and even Fuji realised they'd lost the war and moved on
Go back ten years and it was more megapixels at the expense of dynamic range, but I think with current technology they have managed to have both
DR is where most of the IQ improvements have come from in newer cameras. Past a certain point that was reached a few years ago there just isn't scope for increased sensor resolution to improve image quality because of lens quality and diffraction limiting. The biggest advances for me have been in high ISO performance, which with IS lenses means you can take hand held photos that were completely impossible 10 years ago. It's that rather than extra megapixels which persuaded me to upgrade last time.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
