Derek Powazek on the iPhone 4 Camera

Derek Powazek:

Just look at the detail and clarity. I’ve owned digital cameras that took crappier photos.

I don’t know if I’ll ever buy another pocket-size point-and-shoot camera. Dedicated point-and-shoots still take better pictures than any camera phone, but not so much better that it’s worth carrying an extra device. And Flip-style dedicated pocket video cameras? Forget it, they’re dead.
