#5 is not a stretch. Why buy an additional device when the one you need and have already has that capability? I'll never buy another camera, video cam or sound recorder.

That’s true—so it makes it a stretch to claim some global capitalist conspiracy, rather than obvious market forces.

I’m unimpressed with cell phone cameras especially in low light situations. I understand the Apple I phone and a couple other high end Androids have a decent camera, but at $500 dollars no thanks. My $32 LG Volt phone serves me well on a Ting $16 a month plan. My sub $200 canon camera takes amazing photos in any lighting condition. I can live with the inconvenience of having two devices for the major upfront and monthly service fee savings.

Jack of all things....master of none.

True, but it certainly hasn't replaced flashlights.

I have a tiny super bright single AAA that can't be touched by a cell phone. I also have a five D cell that will crack a skull but is perfectly innocent in my truck.
