Smartphone cameras compared

While phone photos look great online, they still are not a replacement for a real camera if you want to make good looking prints.

Exactly. My phone's camera is an 8 megapixel camera and my next phone will probably be over 10MP. My shop camera is a 6MP Nicon D40 SLR that has several lens and filters.

Would I use my higher resolution phone instead of my D40?????????????????

Never in a zillion years.

I take an awful lot of images for my site and cannot conceive of using my phone camera for that.
 
Megapixels are over rated. The lens is what the camera sees with and is the most important part!
I have an old 4 megapixel camera that takes better photos than any smartphone and better than many 12 megapixel cameras.

As smartphone has a lens so small that it can hardly be seen so it cannot compare with a camera lens.
 
A nice lens is great but really makes the photo is the size and quality of a sensor. That's why a lower mp can take a better picture. I have a 1d that has 12 mp and can blow images way larger than my 18mp 7d.
 
YES your all right on.

BUT........ These phones are getting better and they're quickly replacing the dedicated digital point and shoot camera category. They're also taking over the consumer home video market.

We make pictures from phone cameras everyday and I have to say many are pretty darn good.

I had a customer e-mail a jpeg image of an eagle in a tree. He ordered an 11 x 14 and it turned out great. I complimented his photo and he said he used his i-phone with a telephoto lens accessory.

I was amazed.
