It's subjective, but cameras are already so good that it hardly makes a difference.

If you have kids, better low light photography is extremely valuable. Many moments with kids are indoors and lighting indoors is usually terrible.

If someone comes out with a point-n-shoot that's about as good as a semi-recent iphone camera, does live photos(!), and has backup-over-wifi I'm back on a dumbphone on release day of that device.

And yeah, entirely for kids.

Live Photos are probably the best feature to ever happen for parents. They are pure magic.

That is what I thought until upgraded from 7 to 10s. Difference in photo quality is 4x.

You get at least two or three stops more sensitivity if you upgrade from 7 to X. It’s an enormous difference when you need it. You can’t take a picture in broad daylight and say “looks nice and crisp, can’t be better”. Take a photo of something moving, indoors and you’ll see it.
