So true. Not only that, but pulling out my phone and quickly snapping a shot is often better than quickly pulling out my non-phone cameras - especially in challenging lighting conditions.

I absolutely can get better shots with my non-phone cameras, but they take more work.

I understand carrying and taking shot with a DSLR is much more involved than pulling out a phone from a pocket, but have you ever used compact cameras with 1" censor like a Sony RX100 or Canon G9x ?

They both fit in your pocket and startup as fast as you can activate the camera on your phone. Out of habit I usually reach the power button inconsciently when grabbing it from my pocket and the lense is usually extending while my arm is moving in position so it is usually immediately ready to snap a picture.

If you are in a setting where you are almost certain to take picture, a micro four third format also works great and depending on the lense are usually small enough if you are the kind of guy who wears small shoulder or sling bags.

Well now we're getting into the old adage, whatever camera I have with me. I always have my phone and many times have my Z5 or d7100. There isn't much space to add another camera.
