> These days, pretty much the only people shooting with DSLR's are the people who want/need that fine-grained manual control anyways.

Or people who shoot journalism, sports, conferences or other live events.

I don't care how damn good smartphones are (or will become). DSLRs will forever rule the roost in fast paced environments, smartphones are just too fiddly and there's nothing the manufacturers can do, the hinderance is not software, its form-factor.

But what computational photography aspects that only Apple/Google provide are going to be useful for journalists or sports photographers?

That was the original question, and I'm not seeing it.

Obviously they're using DSLR's for the manual controls and lenses. But my point stands: if they need advanced image processing for something they're going to publish... they need to adjust it on a large screen. Not on-camera.
