    I must admit, mobile cameras are far from reaching SLR quality in any time soon. I’ve seen great pictures taken with mobile phones, but they still fall short of my 12 year old Pentax istDS packed with 40 years old 50mm 1.4

    The problem is a cell phones lifespan is far less than a cameras. Its hard to justify spending $1000+ for a phone every 2 years. I can get a good phone for $200, a great camera that will last 5 years for $500.

      I gave up the $1000 phones, the mid rangers are just as good for half the price.
