Do DSLRs perform better than a handy cell phone camera for day light landscapes?
Not for most of us who do not get paid for our photographs. The photos can be a bit better but when you add the cost of the camera and inconvenience of carry a bulky camera and some lenses, the difference may not worth it for most of us. In broad day light landscapes, a bulky DSLR is not worth the weight compared to a handy cell phone. However if you are taking photos in low light or early morning/late evening, DSLR do take better photos.
Here are two photos taken around noon of a mountain and a frozen lake in Mammoth Lakes area. One photo is taken with a DSLR pentax K30 with 50mm lens on it and the other photo is taken with Samsung Note 4 camera. As you can see, Pentax did take a nice photo but the photo took with Samsung cell phone is also usable and good when shared with friends.
