I have used phones, bridge, compact and mirrorless cameras. For me, my mirrorless cameras have given me the best quality so far. Not that phones can’t take good photos, I certainly have taken many great photos with them. However, sensor size does matter and it is just physic. And an interchangeable lens camera doesn’t have to be expensive. I have built a macro kit for just under 100 USD (Olympus EPM2+ Sigma 180mm f5.6 macro + Raynox 250). The result can be phenomenal.
