I have used a lumix with 8X optical zoom (for a very long time) that is smaller than most smartphones (albeit thicker, thanks to the fetish for ultra-thin phones), has a removable SD card, and doesn't do processing beyond what it normally takes to make jpegs. Newer ones might have raw, I haven't checked. It has outlived many phones, has a removable battery, doesn't have a single f/1.8 aperture, and has a macro mode that doesn't require you to be 1/4 inch from the subject. If it's lost or stolen, I haven't handed over all my financial and personal data.

What will they think of next?
