Cameras bring them or stick with phone

I didn’t know how to do it until my son showed me,,,lol. It’s all about the shutter speed and being very still!

I know that this is an old post, but I want to throw in my two cents as someone with a formal education in film/photography.

Please, please, please bring a camera! Smartphone cameras have come a long way, but there are things that they just can't do because of technological limitations. A dedicated camera (with good/decent lenses) will ensure that your memories are well-preserved.

I upgraded my camera and also helped my son obtain one as well.

We went for micro 4/3 format, I got an OM3 and my son an OM5, both with all round lens.

We took some nice pics, better than a phone would.

I have a hunt booked for may of this year and keep fighting if it be worth getting a stand alone camera. The camera I am thinking is the canon eos r50. I have a iphone 16 pro which has a solid camera but seems to not be great when zoomed in. Some of my concerns with it is its more I have to carry. ill already have the rifle bino pack im not sure I want to add more. and Its so easy to just flip a phone out my pocket. Looking for all advice as I'm new to cameras just not sure it be worth it or if ill use it over there.
