I have a camera with a wide angle lens that I use.  I use photoshop to brighten them up a bit and resize them for my MLS.  It works pretty well.

We use drone with go pro 4, sony video, fuji xt-1 still cameras. It is not the camera but time put into angles, lighting, and quantity of crisp helpful imagery. Jimi Hendrix could make a Western Auto Wizard simpliest of guitar wail that would make you cry. But bag the cell phone for the go it all in a hurry. It shows you did not think the photos, video were worth the time to attention.
