What is the difference and/or benefit of a DLSR camera vs. a standard phone camera?

Control. DSLR’s offer far more control over your images than a phone can offer. But with that control you need to have the knowledge to use it. Phones have surpassed your average point-and-shoot camera by just about every metric but they have yet to really crack the DSLR nut mostly due to size constraints.
In order to have a lens that offers a large zoom yet allows a lot of light to enter (critical for shooting in various lighting conditions) the lens needs to be physically constructed bigger. Ever see those giant lenses on the sidelines of games? The zoom in those is no different than the zoom on a consumer camera however those lenses let in a ton more light and are also built with higher quality materials. In short, a phone can’t bridge the gap between quality, size and affordability. They do well but can’t compete with a DSLR.
