Sure, except the Die hards still refuse to acknowledge the fact that cell phone cameras are capable of taking better and better photos. Come back to this forum in a couple of years time and you will find expensive cameras go the way of Rollei, Contax, Alpa, Voigtlander and video cameras go the way of Bolex, Beaulieu, Bell and Howell. They were all great cameras and movie cameras during their time with a price to match.
While the cell phone cameras are improving, they still shoot with a sensor so much smaller than a DX camera that the images are probably just approaching what could be shot with a good 10 year old DSLR (My wife's new HTC cell phone photos are just approaching the quality of her D70s photos). And again, she has better control (the camera doesn't try to guess at the photo) with her D70s than she does with the cell phone. I would guess that cell phones will replace most (and we are seeing this in camera sales numbers) point and shoot sales but I can't really see Joe McNally showing up on a big corporate shoot which his cell phone.
