Partly off topic...

>> I totally agree about DSLRs. My proper job is macrophotography, and I have good DSLR and know how to use it really well. <<

I also do macro photography (about 50% of my photography). Changed to a mirrorless a couple of years ago, both to upgrade after a decade and for a lot of non-macro features (e.g. silent shutter).
Completely off topic, but curious what you use? I have a x2 magnification lens for up to x2, and microscope objective for higher than that.

>> But I almost always use a point-and-shoot Canon powershot when I just want a regular photo. The DSLR is essential for when I need a really specialist set up with total control. Bit it almost always takes longer and is less reliable when I just want a guaranteed good photo quickly. <<

P&S cameras and one of the fastest disappearing products in the world. Once phones became decent most stopped buying them. I don't really take many "regular" photos but if I do it's only with my phone.
My phone would be pretty terrible for any of the "real" photos, but so would a P&S camera (possibly worse).

To get back on topic...

>> I can imagine that sound would be really really similar in that regard. The trick, I suppose, is identifying a good point-and-shoot microphone. <<

A Zoom (or equivalent) recorder is more or less similar to a P&S camera. Audio is maybe a little behind photography in that sense and maybe eventually (or pretty soon even) a phone with a small mic would be as good as a Zoom (or better). I still mostly use a Zoom (H2, H4 and H5) when I want a decent recording of a concert or rehearsal. For quick stuff like recording a little in a rehearsal I still use the phone.
A phone or computer (with or without an extra microphone) has a big advantage of also having a much better interface for listening without having to copy it to the computer, etc. (I don't mind it much but for some people it can add a lot of hassle).
