My stance on photography is “the best camera is the one you have with you”.
On the other hand, I don’t find taking pictures with a phone to be particularly engaging.
Personally I love film cameras most. Focussing by rotating the lens, the sound of the mirror slap, winding the film with a lever, and the moment when you get to see how your pics turned out days later are more than half the fun for me.

It’s definitely not a potato lol. I just wasn’t sure what the stance was on phone cameras vs “real” cameras.

I can understand that. If I find myself getting really into photography, I might end up getting proper equipment but my Pixel 6a is good for now!
Haha of course not, it was more a statement that the moment and composure is more important than the tool
