DSLR camera's strength is their lenses.

Frankly give up on P&S that market is owned by the phone camera's. Obvious look at how standalone MP3 players have all gone extinct.

Yes, mediocre PnS like mediocre MP3 players suffer because of smartphones. But when people want something better than mediocre, then PnS like Sony RX100 MkIII / RX1R or MP3 players like Astell & Kern's Ak240 / Sony NWZ-ZX2 still have their niche.

But coming back on topic, the day that smartphone cameras would match the focusing and capture speed of DSLRs, I'll switch. biggrin.gif But smartphones are getting there already. Nightshots on my Note 4 are damn impressive even for holiday photos not to mention my favourite panoramic function that's just super easy to take wide angle shots.
