Check out professional cameras and you will see they all have high megapixels and professional photographers are not taken in by hype.
...
Sensors in professional cameras are more sensitive to light, have higher dynamic range, less noise and more surface area than sensors in cheaper non-professional cameras. Professionals also put very expensive lenses in front of those sensors.
You’re a perfect example of the consumer that falls for the megapixel hype.

Moonman62,
I’m afraid you don’t know what you are talking about. I shoot with a Nikon D810 and used a D800 before that and several cropped sensor cameras before that.
If you thought I was saying that there was any equality between any phone camera and a Full Frame professional camera you misread what I said.
I shoot full frame and with what I consider an advanced design because I can get more than just sensor density or megapixels. If however you are talking about two phone cameras and one has 10 megapixels and the other 48, give me the 48.
There is no phone camera that will give you 14 stops of dynamic range or has the ability to push ISO out to 6400 and farther and still get a usable picture, there is no phone camera that I know of that has a 50mm f:1.4, or then an 85mm with f:1.4 or then again a 70 to 200mm f:2.8 or even a 150 to 600 4.6. If however you want to take a picture of your kids playing in front of some scene and you don’t want the whole scene in the picture at least with more pixels you can crop to get a usable picture without getting jaggies.
