The Canon shot is blurry mainly because it used a much slower shutter speed: 1/13s vs 1/33s on the phone. At 38mm-equivalent, that’s slow enough to show hand shake or subject motion, especially in dim light.

Why the phone did better:

• wider aperture: f/1.7 gathers much more light than f/2.7
• shorter effective focal length: 26mm equiv is easier to hand-hold than 38mm equiv
• newer sensor/image processing: modern phones handle low light and noise much better than an older compact
• the Canon was likely limited by noise performance, so auto mode kept ISO low and let shutter speed get too slow

So the issue is both technology and capture settings/technique. The old camera did not have a larger sensor advantage here, and in these conditions auto mode chose settings that caused motion blur.

To improve the Canon’s results: raise ISO, use a faster shutter speed, use the widest/shortest zoom setting, half-press to confirm focus, hold steadier, or use a tripod.

Where the Canon can still win: optical zoom. Its 12x zoom can outperform a phone when you need reach.
