I've been taking photos as a hobby for so long that my camera (SLR and then DSLR) is like my third arm. As big and cumbersome as it is it goes (almost) everywhere I'm likely to take pictures. When smart phones started coming out with good cameras I asked hubby for one for my birthday - the only stipulation was a decent camera, so I could take photos when I didn't have my DSLR with me. What did he do - bought me the tiniest smart phone (because he thought it was nice and girly) with the worst camera! So, I'm still lugging the DSLR everywhere... I just got a new one of those for my last brithday/Christmas (Canon EOS 600D) and it takes the most awesome photos. The phone just can't compete with that but I still like the phone (bad as it is) for spur of the moment pictures when I'm out and about.
