> Raw pics from a full frame sensors hold the fort and will continue to hold for a longtime to come unless the phones match DSLR in terms of sensor size and optics size.

"Full frame" cameras do not have the best image quality, and don't even have the best image quality for their price. (eg used medium format film cameras are cheaper.)

They're just the best cameras people have heard of. If you're doing product photography you might want a Phase One instead.

It doesn't matter much though; lighting and lens quality are what really make a photo even in a controlled environment.

You'd be hard pressed to get better quality from a scanned medium format negative than from a modern 60MP full frame sensor. You might just get there if you use a drum scanner, but any faster and more practical scanning process won't get you there.
