Two shot taken saturday, one with the mobile and the other with the dslr, both of them touched by the noodly appendage of snapseed.

For me it's less about the equipment than what you do with it. I especially like #1; it a classic scene that's hard to get tired of. With the vignetting and muted palette it looks like old school C-41 processing.

Nice pictures (and that's all that really counts in the end)
I bet people would have difficulty telling the difference between cell phone pictures and DSLR pictures when taken by a skilled photographer.

I like the first one better, too.
Ah, the magic of snapseed... :)

I agree with both of you (and I just realized that the title of the thread may be misleading in this sense).
In fact, there are times when I prefer the cell phone to the DSLR because it is much faster to go through the capture/process/upload sequence, which sometimes that's what is needed to "just relax and enjoy" the photography without worring about white balance/sharpening/finetuning on a computer.

There's something about the first one that's special. It's sort of dreamlike.

Remember, too, that the image shot on your cellphone may not let you do with it later what you could be doing later had you used the right camera!
I found this to my cost one day when somebody I know asked about blowing up one of my early cellphone-curiosity-driven abstract pictures in the website as decoration for a yacht... good money with high future possibilities lost to crappy camera. Never again. At least cover your ass with something as good as you can afford.

I agree, I have the same impression.
I think this could be due to the "right weirdness" of the colors; just enough to make you wonder "why?" but not enough to ask "what the ...?"

I agree with both: if I were to take photographs for a customer job I would certainly go with the best equipment I can own or rent.
But since I'm not a professional I indulge in gear-laziness :)
I must also add that, even if it's true for me that "The camera you have with you is always the best one for the shot", I noticed that shooting with film or the mobile sets me in a slightly different mindset: I'm less interested/obsessed with perfect focus/perfect exposure/no blown highlights etc. etc.
It's not better: it's just different.
