Cellphones do much more automatic processing of pictures than my 7 year old Canon camera. I can coax a better shot from my old camera but without doing anything special, the cell phone on average, does better pictures. Having said that I do take the old camera out and shoot a series of shots and get some of the best ones. My son's full frame camera has so much detail that you can blow up one picture into 12 pictures and never know they were cropped. But to get that detail you need perfect lighting and even a tripod. Cell phones are so much easier and if you take your pictures carefully, the results can be excellent. Full size cameras ought to copy the cell phone technology and have many more "automatic" settings.
