I like the idea — really.
I’ve had good cameras off and on for much of my life, and I appreciate the
difference between a good SLR and a cheap Point-and-Shoot. On the other
hand, a good camera always separated me from whatever was going on around me
so much that I generally didn’t want to use the thing whenever an occasion
came along that called for taking pictures.
So, I guess the point of all this is that I like the spontaneous nature of
having a camera handy most of the time. The problem, however, is that it is
such a miserable camera — nevermind the open question of whether its
qualities as a phone surpass my cat’s qualities as a grapefruit.
I dunno…maybe I carry enough inane devices with me everywhere that adding a
pocket-sized digital camera wouldn’t be an imposition.
