[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 217276, member: 9240"] I went to a concert Friday night and sat in the front row next to a friend. I had my D600, he had his iPhone 5. Difference in photos is night and day. That said, he'll always be able to take his phone in. I don't believe the camera phone will ever kill the DSLR, but I believe mirrorless will supplant it eventually. And I believe that at some point there's going to be a seriously good camera in a phone that will change that game as well, but I can't see the idea of a single purpose image capture system ever going away. It will adapt more and more of the functions that people love about cameraphones (immediate upload/sharing capability, built-in wifi and editing, touchscreens, GPS, etc.), but the minute you list its main purpose as something other than that you have to deal with all the size and ergonomic issues that go with that.
