Is there a significant advantage for capturing using DSLRs vs using the phone camera of a decent phone?

The big difference is access to fisheye lenses a burst mode that can be run for minutes at a time, and the ability to minimize the amount of camera post processing. In principle, the capture could be done with a smartphone, but the experience of doing so is pretty time consuming right now.
