Benny if that is really true then there is likely an issue with the Canon or user inexperience. That is like saying the FiT can outperform a Challenger. Might be smaller, get better mileage, but in the hands of somebody who knows how to drive a powerful vehicle the comparison falls flat. Using a camera of that quality and better takes a plenty of experience with a mighty fine payoff. Not dissing the modern cell phone cameras, but that is not, IMO, a fair statement based purely on the capability of those two hardware platforms.
I also tend to have better luck with my cell phone over my T5i, that said I KNOW what the Canon can do in more skilled hands than my own and the cell phone cam pales in comparison. I hope to remedy that sometime soon though. I would like to take a class for this purpose. Now to find one around here.......
