Not bad tbh. Mobile phone cameras have come a long way, but I remain highly sceptical that they will completely replace standalone cameras, as Sony has claimed.

Until they come out with a phone that has all the buttons and dials my 7D has, it won’t be replaced. Nothing kills the moment faster than having to change settings by diving through menus rather than muscle memory.

That said, I’ve taken a lot of great photos on my phones through the years simply because I had them on me. You don’t necessarily need a great camera to take a great photo, but it can certainly help.

There's a quote I read once. "the best camera is the one at hand"

The full quote is “the best camera for the job is the one you have on you, but not if it’s in aperture priority when you’re trying to photograph a bee and also not at 1/60 because that’s too slow, and now the bee has left :( “
