Pretty much. People don't care about actually getting a good photo. They just want to "capture the moment" even if thats an fuzzy, out of focus and grainy photo.

People have been saying for years that now they've got a camera in their phone, they're not going to bother buying/using a proper digital camera. *shrug*

I've tried the various phone cameras and found them to be blunt crap. I'll still carry around a compact digital to get photos. My friends still go on about how my photos are better quality than theirs. They've not noticed that I'm not using a phone camera I guess...

I'm sure the DSLR people are thinking that my compact digital photos are crap. Its good enough for me and I'm guessing thats what people think about the phone cameras.
