I've shot street photography for over a decade, and now I rarely even bring my DSLR out—phones like the iPhone 15 Pro or the Pixel 8 Pro have gotten that good. The real issue isn't image quality anymore; it's the way a phone changes your interaction with the scene, making you less invisible. But for the decisive moment, does the tool really matter, or is it all about the eye and timing? I lean toward saying the camera is just a box, but I'm not fully convinced—there's something about the heft and viewfinder that alters your approach.
