I long for the day somewhere down the road where a cell phone camera becomes good enough to take pictures you can at least publish with respect to the web. Even some of the nicer ones now boast a 2.0 Megapixel resolution. While this enables you to take larger photographs, it certainly doesn’t necessarily mean you can take better pictures. I’ve had the same argument against people who go out and spend $300 on a digital camera that has 10+ MP resolutions but a cheap Chinese lens. My 2.3 MP Konica Minolta will smoke it for picture quality, guaranteed.
I digress. The main point here is that I would like to see someone come out with a camera that has an actual decent lens and a 2.0 MP receptor. If anyone knows of one, I’d be glad to find out more about it. So far, here are the best pictures (perhaps) that I have ever taken with my 1.0 or 1.2 MP camera phones. Granted, they’re not horrible, but I would never take pictures of my little girl to send to her grandparents with my phone either. . . yet

My hope is that the iPhone will change human existence forever to such an extent that simple activities like “taking a picture” are no longer necessary in the sense that we understand them to be.
Or maybe its camera won’t suck?
