    Digital Camera's are Dead??

    http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news.php?newsId=1014

    So its finally happened...we have a 7 megapixel cameraphone on the market... the human eye has trouble discerning above 5 megapixel so quality is top draw.....mobile/camera/music/ (and anythingelse you can think of) convergence is here...its the MPV of phones and expect to see every other manufacturer following suit.

    What do we think GFY...does this mean the death of stand alone digital cameras...will those of you who shoot perhaps shoot with mobile phones one day, chose/edit/crop and then upload to your WAP sites from the studio floor!!??

    Are Nikon, Cannon, Pentax in deep trouble?

      This means all of fuck all
      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

          i don't think good SLR cameras will ever totally be replaced.
          Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

            NOt likely there will always be a pro end camara.

            I do not see companies putting into Cell phones the complexities required or necessary elements for real photography work.

            Cell phones will remain point and shoot for idiots.

                      Digital cameras are here to stay. They only need to be improved.

                          Good point .... guess pro kit will always remain standalone. Looks like i'll be stiicking with digital camera AND mobile phone and the next wedding I attend.

                            megapixel does not = quality.. it has more to do with the size of the image
                            so the difference between a 5 megapixel and a 7 or 8 megapixel camera is like between making an 8x10 print and a poster size print. i dunno about your eyes but i can certainly tell the difference between a 5 megapixel image and an 8 megapixel one.

                            Even if you are not making prints.. taking photos in very high resolution makes photoshopping details very easy. and then you just shrink the image down to website size.

                                    i don't think digicams will be phased out by that in the near future
                                    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                        pffft end of the day it's still not quality...

                                        hand held digital cams - your tourist style travel and snapshot while your on holiday MIGHT one day fade away, but phone quality pics arent concending with good sony etc digital cams, even if they are 7mpixel the graphics processing is still poor...

                                        and yeah, nothing for a fair while will compete with a good digital SLR

                                                      Some crap phone will never replace digital cameras for photoshoots. Real cameras simple have a lot of different options, and functionality some phone doesn't. Not to mention battery life.

                                                      A cell phone that makes phone calls.
                                                      Now there's a concept.

                                                          Ummm digital photo 101. It's not just the megapixels that counts it's the size of the cmos or ccd chip.

                                                          A 7 megapixel picture taken on a 1/4" chip is not the same as a 7 megapixel picture taken on a 1 inch chip.

                                                          It's kinda like grain in film cameras. You have to blow it up to far to make a decent photo.

                                                            I don't think it will ever replace it. In any case if one breaks then you lose both. Like the TV video combination, those never took off because once your video breaks, you need to send your entire TV to be repaired. The cell phone cams could be fun but nothing to be taken seriously.

Smaller/cheaper sensors and optics result in artifacts like purple blooming, chromatic abberation, barrel distortion, digital noise, etc.

                                                                      If the thing in a phone was as good then DSLR's would be a lot smaller, wouldn't they?

                                                                                Cell phones will remain point and shoot for idiots.
