Do people with cameras like RX100/ZV-1 still end up using their phones more?

Our take

In a world where smartphones dominate our daily photography, the question arises: do compact camera owners like the Sony RX100 or ZV-1 still reach for their cameras? As flagship phones boast impressive computational photography capabilities, convenience often tilts the scale in favor of mobile devices. With a phone always within reach, users can quickly shoot, edit, and share their moments. For those who own both, what drives the choice between the two?

So my old phone died and considering of buying new one, have budget of entry level flagship, but I am afraid that I will use computational phone photography, rather than my ZV1 m1 (I am new to manual photography).

A lot of people who own compact cameras like the Sony RX100 or ZV-1 also seem to have flagship phones (iPhone, Samsung Ultra, etc.). So I’m wondering doesn’t the phone end up replacing the camera most of the time?

Like:

  • Phone is always in your pocket
  • Faster to shoot + edit + share
  • Computational photography is really good now

So even if the compact camera has better image quality, do people actually use it regularly, or does it just come out for specific situations?

For those who own both:

  • What do you realistically use more?
  • When do you pick up the camera instead of your phone?
  • Any regrets buying a compact camera?

Would love honest experiences.
