I recently took a European tour and purchased a moderately priced Canon PowerShot Model: SX260 HS Digital camera. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results from any camera--this one performed beautifully under some difficult shooting conditions. I have many high quality pictures from this camera. In contrast, a friend who accompanied me took pictures on an iPhone and there is no question about its inferiority for quality photography. If you want quality, buy a "real" camera but, if you only care about "duddy" pictures, a cell phone camera should make you happy. Incidentally, to express my bias: (1) I almost cry when thinking about my high-end Canon 35MM camera rotting in the closet and (2) observing all the cell phone addicts who are attached to their phones like a baby to a nipple. There is a real place for a cell phone and that is in your pocket except when in real need. I want to vomit when I see adults & children continually pulling their phones out in public to view their latest text or email. Then, and I have never figured this out, why these idiots think they have to talk twice as loud when on a cell vs. a normal face-to-face conversation.

I suspect your spell checker got you and substituted something unrelated to the word you tried to type. Was it perhaps "much lower" or maybe "much slower"?

Sure,the quality wont be as good,but for most purposes it's plenty good enough to capture the occasion.95% of people - maybe even more don't and never will use photo editor progs it has to be said,so while I agree with Storm to a point, it is what it is in reality,instant & fun for most people :-) I tend to agree with Tim,I’ve always had a very high end camera for the last 30+ years,I still use 35mm as well as digital – currently a Nikon DSLR with which I have taken literally tens of thousands of photos all over the world in various resolutions including RAW for further tweaking at a later point in time;but 80% of my favourite photos came from my (also high end) camera phones taken at a moments notice when I don’t have my DSLR with me (do you ?).

You can then improve dramatically your photographs with a photo editor like Adobe Lightroom Yes, your phone is great for happy snaps but the Canon S100 for example will allow you to do so so much more especially as it shoots RAW.
