Camera vs Smartphone

I would personally choose a camera. While a smartphone is much more portable, it doesn't have the same quality. Smartphones are getting better in their quality, but they still offer very few features. You cannot change shutter speed or aperture, and the all around quality of the picture is just on a completely different level from a camera. A camera may not be the most portable, but if you are a dedicated photographer you would take it with you wherever you went regardless of how portable it was. It also offers so many more features than a smartphone, and these features outweigh the few negatives a camera has.
