Originally posted by jumbleview I am inclined to look toward modern smartphone which has more than one rear camera. Some of then has three lenses like 16mm, 24mm and 60..70 mm (35 film camera equivalent). If the quality of images from tele lens is the same as of my Google Pixel 3a wide lens I will be more than satisfied.
Yes, modern smartphone has large sensor can replace the camera for everyday use, I read somewhere someone shoot the entire movie with an iPhone. On the other hand, smartphone camera is particularly handy for step by step recording of repairing, such as to dismantle and reassembly of a lens and other equipment, a great tool for those non photographers at work.

Cuz sometimes, in certain situations, carrying along a single bridge camera is the most practical way (instead of lugging a DSLR with perhaps another 3 to 4 lenses).
Something like the Sony RX10iv is the only practical way sometimes.
I did use the RX10 from friend sometimes, it is very handy and powerful, just too powerful I need time to get use to the features settings.
