re: Digital camera question - lenses

My wife is by no means a professional photographer, but she takes pictures for friends for Christmas cards, has a few different lenses and lighting rigs, and a decent handle on photo editing.
I just overheard her the other day talking to her Mom and saying how she can get better photos with her phone now than her t3i. She brought it to our nephew’s christening last weekend (first time she’s used it in a year or so) and mentioned she didn’t know why she bothered when her phone pics were just as good.
I’m just thinking ahead to Christmas and wondering if a new camera would be a wise investment.

Phone cameras are basically doing a ton of in-camera post processing. In-cam processing is probably the last thing I look for so unfortunately I won't be of much help.
I do see some of the Canon cameras have what they call HDR PQ so you may want to look into that. There is a decent amount of info at this link.
If I was looking for a newer camera I'd be looking for:
-Higher dynamic range
-Low noise at higher ISO settings
-More buttons/controls on camera vs in the menu
-Wireless control for strobes/lighting
-Wifi transfer may be nice
Another thing I would consider essential is at least one "bright" lens for use in low light. Something with a large aperture/low f-stop number.
