Yeah, I'm not sure I'll go back to using a full size camera except for situations which call for a specialist lens (e.g. going on safari, maybe astrophotography one day). I think for me the killer feature is that the photos are there on your phone (and in the cloud), ready to be browsed/shared/edited. I'm terrible for never getting round to downloading/editing the photos from an SD card!

My Sony a6500 has been relegated to webcam duties.
Honestly, I just carry my a6300 with me most of the time. I’ve used some of the modded apps that are available (it’s running android after all) to ensure I can single-click pair it to my phone and send all photos over, or send photos over automatically as soon as they’re taken.
It’s just as convenient for quick sharing, and the photos are so much better.
Can you share what apps are? I'm highly interested. Main reason my a6000 is gathering dust is because saving to Google Photos is a pain.
There's a ftp uploader that's publicly available, but mostly I just wrote my own custom upload tool.
Search for OpenMemories Framework, there's something of an unofficial SDK available.

@kuschku (sorry I can’t reply to yours due to comment depth) - do you have a link to these apps? I have a few Sony cameras gathering dust, so this sounds interesting!
