Occasionally you hear people saying that cellphones will make our cameras obsolete. I understand all the reasons for this argument and I even generally agree with some of the logic (for simply documenting a moment, the cellphone is an incredible tool).

Just my $.02, but I've got a take on this I haven't run across before, so I'll float it now.  I need readers to see a screen.  I rely (more than I'd care to admit) on the adjustable diopter in my cameras to see clearly what I am shooting through the viewfinder.  With a phone, all I can do is basically frame the subject and hit the button.  Wearing readers while out and about is a pain.  For this reason, for me, using a phone for more than documentation or capturing a moment is not the best solution.
