Having a separate camera for photos and videos is one of my generation's “uphill both ways” moments. Photo and video are now so ingrained into one device that it’s getting difficult to remember the days of carting along a separate camcorder.
Your phone is incredibly capable as an overall device. But the camera just won't replace what a dedicated device can do for you. We're all very aware that zoom lenses are one of the biggest and best reasons to get a dedicated camera.
Tamron Co. , Ltd. of Japan has just announced the development of their first Nikon Z mount AF lens, the Tamron 70-300mm F/4. 5-6. 3 Di III RXD. Nikon Z owners are sure to love this, as it's Tamron's first autofocus lens for Z mount cameras.

"Shoot wide open. " is probably a bit of advice that you've heard when shooting low light portraiture. The great news is that you don't need to use a flash to get a portrait that pops and that makes people stare--instead you can use a lot of the lighting that's just around us.
