Yeah, but my Diamond is a lot smaller than my Canon S5 so I don't expect it to match the quality. I appreciate the convenience of having the camera with me on the phone and the acceptable quality (as long as there is enough light).
I guess I am a "glass half full" kind of guy. Phone cameras have come such a long way that I compare them to what my first one was capable of (and my first 1 megapixel digital camera for that matter) and evaluate them in that manner. I was a skeptic at first as to why I would even want a camera on my phone, so now that I have come to understand the value I am still not expecting a phone camera to make Canon and Nikon worry.
That said, I have noted a trend that this reviewer didn't focus on. Phone cameras are becomming stuffed with more and more user adjusted features such as white balance adjustment and photo stitch capability. I would trade a few of these capabilites on a phone camera in return for a flash for indoor pictures becomming standard and some work on reducing shutter lag.
