I prefer to use the digital camera to take photos because the result from the worst digital camera is still better than the best mobile phone. This is why I seldom take photos by the mobile phone. I pay attention to the photo quality. I love China

Nope... if you take enough photos, some will certainly turn out well. But thew best photo from the best phone camera is useless for anything except the most basic viewing. It can't be printed bigger than postcard (most won't be any good bigger than wallet size). No matter how good the composition, the colour fidelity is awful, the image quality is too poor to allow details to be seen. It all comes down to the size of the sensor: the sensor on a compact camera is about 7 times larger than a phone cam's sensor, which is still far too small for really good imaging; and the lens is far better than any phoe camera, too. All in all, then, no I don't think so. However, if you don't have a real camera, a phone cam is better than trying to sketch everything with a lump of charcoal.

i think you are talking about vga camera phones actually now a days a 5 MP phone can produce nice quality images and they even print sizes which are around 9x6 (as i know)....

I don't have a camera on my cell phone, so I can't say which I prefer. However, I do have a digital camera and I'm quite happy with it, so there is no need for my cell phone to have a built in camera in it anyway. Although I do have to admit that it would be a nice feature to have on my phone as I pretty much carry my cell phone everywhere I go, unlike my digital camera, so I'd get a lot more use out of it, I'm sure! LOL Happy mylotting!

It isn't about the camera - it is about the end result: the photograph. The best camera is always the one you have with you, and if that is your phone, so be it. But if you care about your photographs, won't you make an effort to have a quality camera close at hand?

I much prefer using digital camera because of the better quality of the photos. I'll still use camera phone when i don't have my digicam with me or when taking simple or immediate pictures.

It really depends. But since I really want to know the performance of my camera and to get better pictures with it then I would opt to use it more than my phone camera. Though if its just some moments I want to take a picture of and right away, then my phone camera is very handy for those times of need.

i prefer digital cameras, its much clearer and not blurry, but mobile phones with hi def cameras are good, they got flash we can take pictures at night... but regular cam on phones that are vga, its kinda blurry, 1.5 mpxels are ok. have a nice day!

in always prefer digital camera to mobile camera . i think we can get a better quality of pictures in a digital camera than in a mobile camera . but mobile camera is handy we can use it whenever we need it since we will be having the mobile with us for most of the times . but our digital camera wont be like that . but i prefer digital camera to mobile camera .

On special occasions, I'd prefer my Canon S5 IS :) It takes nice picture. I love its super macro feature :)

I prefer a digital one, because my cell phone doesn't make good pictures. But anyway, I use my cell's phone cam often, because the digital camera is not always with me and the phone is. So I use it when there's a special spontane moment to be captured :)

I prefer my digital camera. I don't carry it every day, so I'm using my phone camera : photos are smaller and quality is lesser, but it's better than nothing.

Comparing the two. I prefer also digital camera. For me camera has flexible zoom option, good pixel or quality compare to mobile phone. Some camera has ability to capture automatic with smile. :) smile
