I'll never understand why someone would purchase a cell phone because of the camera. If one wants a camera, there are plenty from which to choose. Some less expensive than a cell phone.

Another thing I'll never understand is people wanting to compare cell phone cameras with "real" cameras. They are two different entirely different tools.

I don’t think that people purchase cell phones just for the camera feature. They’re more like a Swiss Army knife and that’s their attraction. Plus, if you know what you’re doing, you can take very good photos with them. The camera part is undeniably a "real" camera.

Reminds me of the old cartoon where a driver in a Formula One racing car was being told by a real estate developer: "Try again, this time get the commute time down to 10 minutes from downtown."

Some of the advanced photographers on this site have reported good quality up to 11x14.

The seeing part is best done with the print itself. Viewing on a screen depends on file size, resolution, and monitor quality.

For casual photographers who would previously have used a point and shoot, and are going to buy a cell phone anyway, it IS their camera. So they will probably want a cell phone with one of the better cameras. And they will get much better photos than any point and shoot from the film era.

Agree, though cameras have now become such a focal point (no pun intended) of smartphone sales that I now see them refered to as cameraphones.

When will a cell phone have a 600mm F4.,stabilized lens?
