[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 1196561, member: 10982"] I don't know that anyone would be able to tell you, and I would disbelieve anyone who did try. Not that what they say is necessarily incorrect, just that I don't think many of us walk the camino as some sort of data collection activity to answer questions like that. That said, I don't think it is important. If you are just following the crowd, rather than examining your own specific requirements, you won't be making the best choice for you. From the responses so far, there seems to be the broad spectrum one might expect, from relying on a smartphone, through some form of compact camera, to carrying a full sized, SLR style, camera. When I speak to people at my local camino group about why they have chosen where they are on this spectrum, those who choose to carry a separate camera have put some thought into their own needs. So if you have already thought through that for your other photography needs, you already have a head start on this. What I would say is that modern smartphones have come a long way since I first made the choice to carry a compact camera, over 10 years ago. In most instances, they can do all the things that I might want to do, albeit on a very small sensor and with limited options for optical zoom using the full sensor coverage. I still carry a now rather old compact, an Olympus SZ-16 from circa 2014. It serves me well. There are several more 'modern' equivalents, but none with that many additional features to prompt me to 'upgrade'. ps I presume you already have a workflow for your digital photography with your current camera setup. You might try putting some images taken with your smartphone through that workflow, and making an assessment of whether you will be happy with the image quality after any image manipulation you might normally do to prepare images for publishing in larger formats than a smartphone screen.
