Default Low-end Cameras to be Replaced with Camera Phones

"Cameraphones will steal most of the market for low-end photography from low-end standalone digital cameras, according to a study released Wednesday by ABI Research. "We believe that within the next two years, the quality of a mobile phone camera will be such that people won't need low-end standalone digital cameras," ABI researcher Henneth Hyers said in a statement. "This will dramatically impact camera sales." Hyers noted that 1.3 megapixel cameraphones are about to become common and five megapixel cameraphones will be available."

I think this is a fairly accurate assessment of where the market is heading. I don't see camera phones replacing a standalone camera anytime soon, but I will certainly curb the need for a low-end digital camera. What do you think? Are low-end standalone digital cameras on the verge of extinction?
