Gap has closed between compact digital cameras and cameraphones. One of the advantage of traditional camera is of big zoom lens. Otherwise there is not much difference between 8-megapixel phone camera and dedicated camera image. So is it good to buy a mobile phone with good camera or buy a mobile without camera and buy a camera seperately

If the quality of mobile camera and the digital camera is at par, I would prefer to buy a mobile phone with the camera intact because in this way it is more convenient to carry it everywhere. If I buy a separate mobile phone and a separate digital camera, I would have to have two separate empty places to keep both of the things. And if I travel I am concerned about space because I won't want to carry heavy luggage here and there. But if the quality is so much difference then I have no choice but to buy a separate digital camera, even if I already have one in my mobile phone.

Yes thats what I think that if the quality is at par then why should we carry two things and handle them seperately. But if there is difference in quality then there is no choice.

So you mean that buying a camera seperately is good choice. And should buy the mobile seperately.

My sons were driving me mad to buy a digital camera. It was expensive, so I kept putting it off. Finally they wove their way through to get me to agree. Now that we have one, I have no regrets. It is worth its price. Imagine, all you have to do is smile, and a picture is automatically taken. And so many other features. Buy one, you will not regret it. About the mobile camera, they do use it, but I'm not the judge of that.

In reality, the gap between digital cameras and digital phone cameras is widening, with the phone cam getting left further and further behind.
The greatest advance in phone cams in the last 2 years is higher megapixels and glass lenses. But the very best of them fails to match the image quality of a basic 6 megapixel camera, and the low-light capability, zoom range, face recognition, white balance correction, dust removal and dozens of other features makes the phone laughable for anything but what it is: a very useful, convenient substitue for a real camera when you can't get one.
I'm not against phone cameras: I have a very nice one in my pocket right now. I just don't make the mistake of trying to substitute it for a real camera.
Would you make your mobile phone your first choice for internet browsing? It is great that you can do it, but there is no real comparison with your desktop or laptop computer, is there?!
