As more and more cell phones are better equipped with high quality cameras, these new hybrid of multi functional handphones are giving digital camera makers a run for their money

It’s becoming more and more common to see at least a 2-megapixel cameras in mobile phones while the top end handphones from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and LG have 5-megapixel cameras installed in their phones

Clearly now, the low end digital cameras face obscurity and non-sale when compared to these camera phones

Retail sales of such colour camera phones is starting to dominate the imaging market but digital camera makers such as Canon and Kodak are not too worried as higher camera phones sales will be a huge catalyst for people to convert to digital photography and buying digital cameras
