Decline of the Point and Shoot, Rise of the Smartphone Camera
June 10, 2013 by Juliana Payson in Camera (http://www.gadgetreview.com)
The emergence of Smartphone camera accessories is a major indicator for where photography is heading. That is to say that the Smartphone has to a large degree replaced the standalone digital point and shoot camera.
What consumers are concerned with now, is the footprint of their Smartphone and their associated accessories while placed in their pocket. Moreover, since it is the single most portable intelligent device the majority of us carry around, the Smartphone has become a hotbed of ingenuity for customizations, plugins, and app development all to customize your personal imaging device and thus further propelling the death of the point and shoot.
Can a smartphone replace your point-and-shoot?
June 6, 2013 (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au)
We’ve already rounded up the top smartphone cameras, but are they good enough to replace your point-and-shoot digital camera? Jenneth Orantia finds out.
A couple of years ago, Olympus’ digital imaging unit set up a guerilla ad campaign specifically to trash talk smartphone cameras. Among the zingers it included as slogans were, “If your camera also sends text messages, that will explain why your photos are rubbish”, and “A camera phone is to photography what two-minute noodles are to cooking”.
A phone isn’t a camera – it’s a device that does multiple things.

Olympus even went so far as to register the getarealcamera.com domain name, which redirected back to the company’s main website.
