It wiped out my DSLR camera too. I'm no professional photographer but I bought a refurb Canon t5i rebel when my son was born back in 2016. Phone cameras were still pretty poor at that time, but have gotten much better to the point where I rarely take out the DSLR.
It does take amazing portrait pictures! And better pictures using indirect flash in low-light conditions. But video is pretty bad unfortunately - mirrorless cameras fix the focusing issue but they were not as easily available back when I bought my camera.
"The best camera is the one you have with you" and the usual trope.
I struggle to remember the last time I felt a need to take my mirrorless camera with me and I think it'd be a bit weird to take it with me on my daily commutes or when I'm meeting a friend for coffee or whatever.
When I didn't have a DSLR I was taking a lot of pictures on my phone. Since I got one a few years ago, I almost never take phone pictures anymore (even if I don't have the DSLR with me), because I know the quality will be subpar.
Why even bother taking a picture that will look awful when looked at on anything bigger than a smartphone screen?
