Will mobile phones with cameras kill off the digital camera?

I find it far more easier with a camera then with a cellphone, also it seems to me that you can put way more pictures/video's on a camera then on a cellphone. I also believe the quality of the pictures is far better on a camera. Maybe its because I dislike phones in general that I think this way. but depending on the ammount of pictures you take it might be easier/cheaper with a cellphone i guess

Actually i got a phone with cam and digital camera. What i like in my digital cam is it can take better photos than my phone. The kind of photos maybe differ from the kind of phone you have and digital cam you have. If you've got a nice phone with very resolution and can take more photos and videos you don't need digital camera. Happy posting.

There is absolutely no comparison at all! I have a 1 megapixel digital camera that takes better quality photos than I've seen taken with 5 megapixel cell phone cameras. Because cell phones are so small and do so much more than just take photos, you can't fit a quality image sensor inside them. Larger image sensors make better quality images... no matter how many megapixels your camera has! The quality of cell phone cameras is improving, but it still will never be anywhere what you can get with a digital camera.

I love my cell phone camera! It's very convenient and a lot of fun! I mostly take photos and then text them to my friends and family. But the photo quality isn't anywhere near good enough to print or share online.

As for if you need both, it depends on what you take pictures for. If you just want snapshots of your friends, your pets, etc. to have for memories, then you might be fine with just a cell phone camera. You can store the images on your phone to look at, and text them to your friends!

If you want to print photos, do a lot of photo sharing online, or take high quality artistic photos then you will need a digital camera.

Photos taken from a phone camera like cellphones is very useful when you are used to upload photos on the internet..the advantage here is that you can upload it immediately because the size is intended for internet photo. But if you want to blow-up your photos then you really guys need a separate digital camera which is in high quality and resolutions.

i have got a digital camera and also a mobile that takes pix. i know there is the facility to print off your mobile phone pix, but i must prefer to take pix on the digi camera. for one thing they are larger,better to handle, they do have more detail, my camera doesnt seem to take the pix straight away, with a camera there seems to be a few seconds gap before the picture clicks on. camera phones are really good and useful for snapping your friends and pets. but for a picture of a house, or garden,or scenery, you cant beat a digital camera. you could always get a camera phone, than upgrade, it depends what you want to take pix off. good to see you on mylot, my dear friend xx

Actually i don't think so, one gadget can not overtake another one in any case. Even thought many cell phones are with advanced cameras with mega pixel, but the photos taken with the cameras are never equal to digital cameras, We can use digital cameras for taking some wonderful photographs which is not possible when using the cell phone cameras. Whatever may be the situation i don't think that it will overtake the digital cameras.

I have both. I use mobile phone more often.
In fact, you will put a mobile phone in your pocket or bag, camera not.
But if you love taking photos, you can not live without a camera.
Because the quality of photos are so different.

Well, it all depends on the phone, as well as, the camera! For just taking pics of yourself, some casual stuff, a phone is fine! If you're trying to go out and be a photographer, a hobbyist, or something more than casual pics, I'd check out a good camera! So, figure out what you're trying to do then go from there!

well, i think a camera would be better if you want good pictures. The few camera phones that i have had took good pictures but if you are moving the can get quite blurry. If you are going to use it for birds, butterflies, or any thing that moves i would suggest a camera.

Don't ever make the mistake of buying a mobile phone camera enabled in lieu of a camera. I made that mistake once. a mobile phone is used on a daily bais and is mor ikely to get unservicable withing 2-3 years, whatever the cost. If it gets spoilt, the camera too is gone. By having a separate digital camera, youare not going to use it on a daily basis. it s longevity is always much more than a mobile phone. A digital camera may last you for some 8-10 years or even more if yo look after it well. no mobile phone will last more than 3 years at the max. Why spend so much on it?

Moreover a camera in a mobile phone can not compete with a Digital a camera. Buy a good Cannon or a Sony or Kodak Digital camera and you will be happier. Buy a normal mobile phone if you do not have one and it will give good mobile service. Keep switching your mobile but stick to your camera.
