Replace Your Digital Camera or Video Camcorder with a Cell Phone; Not Likely

People have definitely thought of replacing their digital camera with a cell phone. This site mostly deals with the video function. I would say emphatically that one should NOT seek to replace their video camera camcorder with a cell phone. I think this is something that SHOULD happen in the future but right now with the current technology video camera cell phones don't really have the quality to replace even the most basic ( read: cheap) camcorder.

Replacing a digital still camera is another story and some manufacturers are counting on it. See this ZDNET Blog: Can a Cell Phone replace your digital camera.

Motorola and Kodak ( among others) have teamed up to create the Motozine ZN5. This and other new camera phones really look like cameras that happen to be a phone, not a cell phone with camera function as an afterthought.
