"To avoid your ‘a better photographer with a phone’ red herring, "
Nice try. I never said or even suggested that.
"if the exact same photographer takes the exact same photo, which will have better image quality a smartphone or a dedicated camera with with the same size or larger sensor and high quality lens?"
That's a decision for the photographer and clearly depends upon subject matter and environment. I thought it would be very obvious that a phone camera is not the right tool for making NFL photos, or auto racing, basketball game photos, or dozens of other cases where it's important.
And it's fine letting your camera make the myriad decisions that I typically make when making photographs, as said in my previous post.
A camera is just a tool. Like brushes and oil paints an artist uses to make a painting.
Did Picaso's or Lucian Freud's paint brushes make their paintings? Did Richard Avedon's or Robert Fank's (look them up to see who they are) cameras make their photographs? In your world the answer is yes. And that's OK.
Let me know if you'd like to have a more mature discussion about photography.
Once more... if you want to say your camera is what makes your photos, that's fine. I really do believe you.
