Point-and-shoot cameras vs smartphone camera

Don't let the megapixel count sway you. Lens Quality, CCS sensor, f-stops and the flash are not up to point-and-shoot cameras just yet. Low light is the biggest problem. You wouldn't want to lose those important once in a lifetime family or vacation shots that a digital camera could have captured.

While you can get some amazing photos (in the right conditions) with today's camera phones, overall a digital camera IMHO would still be the best choice.
