In other words what are the advantages or special effects that are possible by using a digital camera instead of owing the similar facility in cellphone cameras? Dedicated cameras offer 3 big advantages:
* A better lens and sensor, for better image quality

* More features, such as autmatic scene-modes, flash, manually adjustable shutter times etc., for more creative control.
If you're willing to spend a few bucks extra, you can also get much more optical zoom, for more reach with great image quality. cell phone cameras produce ultra crappy photos thats one major thing. dont buy a cell phone camera as a everyday camera you will be very disappointed. they are more there as a silly extra so the phone companies can charge you more to send a photo of yourself at McDicks to all your friends. Vote for registration001 and do what he says. Cell phone cameras are the ultimate point and shoot, but that's ALL they can do. Real cameras are a lot smarter and work better in more situations. the sensor in your camera phone is almost as small as a pinhead.
