I still carry my Canon SX720 when I want something small and compact. The zoom is great at 40x optical. Better than most any smart phone. -- nm - sycor Dec 1, 13:39

- I think the thing to keep in mind is that your phone is a combination of a lens + post processing (there is a LOT of auto-processing happening) - oblique Dec 1, 13:04 2
  - the other benefit I can think of is that P&S camera would have a larger sensor, meaning potentially better pics in some regards - tRuMaN (materially correct) Dec 1, 13:06 1
    - substitute lens/sensor with lens in my reply - oblique Dec 1, 13:31
