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?

I'd give it a test run before you set off and make sure things like the batteries are up to expectations.

Go for a day trip in your own city and put it through its paces rather than pack it and figure out something isn't as expected on day 1 of the fortnight trip.

8megapixels is low, but I reckon it'll still make good A4 prints.
