"1) The best camera is the one you have in your hand... Or in your pocket."

Not necessarily. Sometimes it's better to avoid taking the shot if all you have is a phone camera.

The number of times someone has shown me a hyperzoomed smudge on a phone and asked me "what aircraft was that?" The only useful part of the photo was the metadata.

Again, you're talking about two different markets. I promise you a parent watching their toddler doing something cute will not think "darn, I wish I had my 50mm right now. Oh well, I'll just not capture this moment for posterity."

They'll pull their Pixel out of their pocket, hit the power button twice, and immediately take 100 photos that will all end up looking at least halfway decent.

I carefully plan my art. I know where the sun will be. I know where I'll be standing, with what cameras, and what lenses on them. I'll have the manual settings already configured. I'll even have in my head what frame the final picture will go into.

But if my daughter suddenly starts running through my leaf pile with a huge grin? In pulling out my Pixel.
