there is a VERY simple point to be made here that MANY people just cant seem to comprehend - ill try to illustrate it by asking two very simple questions:

on a monthly basis:
- how many days do you carry your digital camera around with you?
- how many days do you carry your cellphone around with you?

if youre going on vacation, or are a photographer, then youre going to want to use an actual digital camera to snap photos - if you arent however, lugging around a digital camera can be a chore on a day-to-day basis - especially when you are only going to use it to snap a couple of pictures here or there (not to mention that they are fairly expensive pieces of equipment that you don't want to lose or damage)

i carry around a se w800 and the pictures it takes are phenomenal for a cameraphone (heres an example: http://imageserver4.textamerica.com/user.images.x/8/IMG_410308/Big/_1208/T520051208141038864.jpg) - and this is just the beginning of what camera technology will be like in cell phones to come...

and now with the announcement of a 32 gig flash drive, its only a matter of time before we see large capacity memory on cell phones (we already have 4-8 gig phones already)

bottom line - if i see something interesting going on - im never the person saying "dang, i wish i had my digital camera with me" - i snap a pic and presto - instant memorabilia

and another ps - the days of your everyday joe schmo heading over to the local walgreens to get 4x6 prints are coming to the end - we are in the digital age now and more and more people are storing their pictures in a digital format - someone mentioned that they have never seen anyone make a 4x6 print from a cameraphone - well i havent seen anyone from my family or group of immediate friends that has even made a 4x6 print period...
