Without breaking the bank or pocket the most smartphones in the past few years can do a decent job for any non professional. Ive had times carrying a backpack with 20kg worth of photogear only to end up taking shots on a Samsung S7 because I was to lazy to take out the big camera.

On the cheapside the kit lens that come with most cameras still do a very decent job and we get to a stage where we worry more about the optics and equipment especially the smaller things then our subject, lighting/mood and creating the image.
