That Question can be answer YES if you ask to Sony Ericsson and Motorola. Why? because both of them have recently announced camera phones with high resolution cameras that can be capable to replace your point-and-shoot digital camera.
For example, a collaboration between Motorola and Kodak and sports a 5 megapixel camera, built-in Xenon flash, and Can a cell phone replace your digital camera? a 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder.
It’s much more of a full-fledged camera than most camera phones, with auto focus, low-light settings, as well as panorama, macro, and multi-shot modes. Perhaps the best feature, though is the integrated Wi-Fi connectivity that lets you upload photos to the Kodak Gallery online service sans PC. Unlike some other camera phones, the ZN5 does let you transfer photos directly to a PC (without requiring you to pay wireless messaging fees), via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth file transfers, as well as the removable microSD card. The Motozine ZN5 will be available in China only in July 2008, and Motorola expects to roll it out across other countries throughout the rest of the year.
