Thanks for all that information, Jim. It matches my hunch, unfortunately. We have all those cellphones out there taking all those selfies and snapshots. They do that better than real cameras. They do not take photographs.

I sat through a presentation at our local camera club. Some person who has made a big thing of using the cellphone to make "photographs." I am a very polite person, so I sat on my hands and taped my mouth. Every "great" image she showed could have been improved with a real camera. She was fighting focal length, DOF, "grain" (pixels), etc. For what she was using, she did a great job, but I won't leave my cameras at home.

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.
