Whenever I go anywhere, I see all kinds of people taking pictures with their cell phones. I just really question the quality of the pictures they're going to get. Because, even though the cell phones today have three, four or five megapixels, the quality of the lens and the size of the imaging chip is miniscule. I know it's very tempting and sexy to think that your cell phone can be everything to you, whether it's still or moving. Look at the movies you get off the cell phone. Have you ever printed a picture from a cell phone? Look at how low the quality is. I personally want more from my camera than what I'm going to get from a cell phone.
