What an appealing cat, @kristyglas.
My phone has been misbehaving for a while but I prefer just my phone as it's easier to transfer the photos at the moment. Quality is always better with the camera in my personal opinion - I can't afford an expensive camera / phone anyways.
Depends on camera xD my very old camera is just too old and way worse than phone. A good phone can last very long, so it can be worth finding a good one. I love using both, I definitely prefer my camera quality tho. My partner's new phone camera is amazing, I'll have to try it out :D
