Nikon to Nokia?

Thoughts on replacing your digital SLR with a cell phone:

Camera gear can be a major source of weight for the leisure/adventure traveler. Can you leave it behind and just rely on something that you’re going to take anyway - your phone? Read the Gadling account by a photojournalist turned editor who is sold on his new 5-megapixel phone: “Nikon to Nokia”

CNET said:

“We have to say picture quality was absolutely impressive. It may be the addition of the Xenon flash, but the N82 produced better photos than the Nokia N95; images were extremely sharp but we were mostly happy that the colors actually looked true to life. Video quality was also great.”

While I love the idea of the weight you could save while traveling, but don't think I would ever completely substitute a camera phone for my digital SLR. Not only does the SLR take better quality photos, but it gets 10x the battery life of my pocket camera. Still, I can really see the appeal of having a high-quality camera built into your cell phone.
