#2I don't think it is just the iphone the other thing that they don't talk about is that digital cameras were rapidly improving in image quality from the late 90's to the mid-00's. My digital camera from '02 takes total trash photos compared to the one I got in '05 but my '05 model is about on par with what I could buy today for a similar price so there is no reason to spend money on an upgrade unless it breaks.

#4While I do have multiple cameras (SLR with long lens for sports, inexpensive Canon for times I'd be worried about dropping my iPhone - e.g. ski lifts) the reality is that old saying that "the best camera is the one that's with you".

#5Apple and Sony? Doesnt Sony make ~$20 per iPhone because of their camera parts contribution. And Apple has 8pp engineers on the camera alone.

It was a really thin article anyways, I don't think it belongs here. The whole article can be summed as "smartphones have tanked camera sales because smartphones have cameras, here is one chart showing this".

Yes, there's a good chance the the spike and drop in high-end digital camera sales represented a one-off replacement of the high-end film camera fleet with digital.

#10You mean what mobile phones have done to cameras, gps navigators, handheld gaming, personal music players and other things that required dedicated devices in the past?
