cameraphones - What are the advantages and disadvantages of compact cameras vs phone cameras?


I'm an amateur photographer and am very curious about what the benefits of spending money for a compact camera as compared to my iPhone5s/Samsung phone cameras are.


I've did some preliminary research and have came out with a couple of reasons why compact camera are better than smart phone cameras:


Reasons Why Compact > Phone Camera




  1. Better Image Stablising function ( reduce shaky blurry photos!)

  2. Longer Zoom Capture function

  3. Larger sensor size

  4. Flash intensity control ( Phones dont have them! )

  5. Greater control of photography (exposure/metering/iso/shutter/aperture speed etc)

  6. Better print quality ( camera pixels and sensor size deliver higher quality pictures, less noise etc)

  7. Good for underwater photography? ( Questionable)


Ok so here's the questions :





  1. Apart from these points above, are there any better reasons why I should buy a compact camera rather than continue using my Phone camera? (Do also comment on whether the points I raised are valid ones.)




  2. Can phone cameras match up to compact cameras today/in the future? (If so what are the examples? )
