Welcome to the Forum! So, who buys cellphone cameras and why? Serious question.

I bought the cell because it's a PDA too, so I only have to carry one item. The camera wasn't really a deciding factor in the purchase, however recently it became useful when I was travelling around trying to locate hotels for a shoot. I took the pic using my cell cam, emailed it to the client and had a decision in minutes. This way if they showed interest in a particular Hotel, I could follow it up whilst I was there. Saved the client and myself time and expense.

I know the answer to that! (maybe) I work with a guy that just has to have the latest phone and has just splashed out 270 for a cam phone. His "old" phone was just 3 months old. As for their usefulness! As far as I can see there are very few if any except for gimmick value! With what he has spent on phones in the last 6 months I could have got a decent macro lens or something useful for my cam. Just my biased opinion

Jeez LP, the guy must be crazy, my old cell broke, I got this as an upgrade, retails around 499.00, I paid 7.99 for it lol! You just gotta work the cell companies a little. I couldn't agree more, they will NEVER replace a camera, at the end of the day it's cell phone :)

Like you said in your previous post using it for a good reason then that is fine and I can see where it fits in.

But to pay so much for what is essentially a toy for the sake of it is just madness.

I have had this conversation many times and basically say the same thing "a phone is a phone and a camera a camera"

Cant see myself holding my SLR to my ear ! he he. It would make my arm ache anyway.

My phone cost 65 and I think that is outrageous for a phone but have no problems spending hundreds on a lens, ok well Im funny that way but its my choice.

It's ok ...they are banning them in many places,especially Government offices.There has been too many voyeur instances with them. For bodguards reasons,they are useful. Just not for me.
