It was an open topic. I tried the camera. It has some uses, but it is
not suitable for every need. If it is the only camera you have it is a
good enough one to grab a shot of little Johnny in the playground but
it won't get you into Nat Geographic. I bought the phone to talk on,
to use for some data communications, but taking pictures is probably the
last concern.

There is always a better camera. You can spend tons of money, like a
Hasselblad H5D for $44,000.
