I am a rare thing nowadays, a smartphone virgin, and I need guidance as to the best smartphone for photos, but within sensible price constraints. I am absolutely not going to blow more money on a phone than my DSLR costs. So £400 tops, and I don't mind S/H.
Looking at specs is very confusing - there are some relatively entry-level phones with high MP cameras, and there are some that have a better selfie camera than a back camera (I'm not interested in selfies). Some seem to be highly rated for their photos but have a relatively low MP count, some seem to be reviewed favourably but throw stacks of AI processing into the files. I want to have the option of bringing the files onto my PC and processing them in Photoshop, and printing to A4 plus. So, a good rear camera, and one that will have the option of bypassing the in camera JPEG processing and generate RAW files that can be processed outside the phone. The photos will be portraits, website products shots and sometimes landscapes.
