DSLR vs phone camera (feddit.uk)

I'm going travelling in a week or two and decided to dig out my old Canon 350D dslr, from the early days of consumer digital cameras before the rise of the smartphone.

It's definitely older than I remember, although maybe so am I! 8 mega pixel, with a 512Mb compact flash card.

On the other hand, I have a perfectly serviceable OnePlus 7T, obviously newer, not cutting edge any more but fine.

What do people think? Go retro or stick to the modern?

You can either shoot in jpeg or in RAW.

RAW files are like a digital negative that require you process them on your computer for them to look the best.

RAW files contain more information and give you more flexibility in editing, but if you just want the image, shooting in jpeg is the simplest most straight forward approach.
