Duh.... because your cell phone can't do it all.

The new 42 megapixel Nokia phone seems to have everything you need. Granted it's the only one of the market, but it's only a matter of time. My iPhone has a low resolution than my digital camera, but it has HDR which make the photo much better. Digital cameras makers need to up their game otherwise they will join the Japanese phone makers on the scrap heap. Customers are being more picky now. Mobile phones now can upload photos to the Internet, improve photo quality, edit photos, apply effects. Some can be charged wirelessly. Digital camera makers need to pull out all the stops to arrest the decline.

Canon is killing Nikon. Nikon needs to rethink their price points. They are definitely overpriced.

With Nikkon you're paying for the historically fine lenses, the jewel in the crown of any camera company. And Nikkor lenses are the best in Japan. Starting with the F1.
