Camera phones are charming and fun, but terrible from a tactile usability standpoint. They are clumsy to hold, as are most small point-and-shoots. If that’s a part of the ‘charm’ then that’s fine. But for more serious and rigorous shooting, you have to use a good SLR (film or digital) or medium and wide-format cameras. I liked the comment by Adrian about culling usable stills from video footage. An interesting idea on many levels. Rather than capturing moments you are sampling them.
