Huh. When I compare RAW output from my D5300 (using the default 18-55 mm lens) and a Pixel 6, the difference is staggering. Granted, the JPG output from the Pixel is usually on par with the JPG from the DSLR, high dynamic range is something where the Pixel is even a bit better most of the time.

But once you take RAW photos and hit the Auto button in Lightroom, the Pixel doesn't hold a chance against the D5300.

Sure, prosumers like us can squeeze extra juice out of the DSLR. But our mothers cannot.

It doesn't even have to be a prosumer, average kids in my city know raw and post process. Kids are very familiar with editing, in fact, gen z is also blowing gen y out of water when it comes to editing video.

That was a bit sexist. But most people can't frame, compose or level either. So doing some automated post-processing inside a phone won't help.
