The Smart Threat: How mobile phones are forcing camera manufacturers to evolve

I just read the comment by canon Europe and I must agree, the smartphones will get people interested in taking better photos as I myself just got a new canon dlsr because my smartphone cannot deliver the quality I want in a photo

Purview

Again you have for some reason put the i phone before the leading quality camera phone being the Nokia 808, have you guy,s at BJP looked at the 808 pureview yet???

Force what, now?

Look up "megapixel myth".

Smartphone camera sensors are smaller than that of compact mobile cameras but have similar MP densities. The same downsides exist.

And telephoto lenses for proper close-ups... let's see a digital crop even begin to compare...

And do people really want "fully connected" cameras, along with the belief of privacy? Which is fine by me, it just keeps the costs of p0rn down.

Now compare smartphone cameras with DSLRs and convince people smartphones provide better QUALITY... which is what counts most in any photo, professional or otherwise. Especially as higher density screens become the norm (e.g. "Retina", where a cheap smartphone camera won't have the color gamut, sharpness, creative control, etc... but who said users want control? They want it easy to use and mindless... )
