(source) It was a wise geek that once said, "The best camera you can have is the camera you have with you". More often than not, this is the camera hanging off the back of your smartphone rather than any standalone camera you may have at home.
The cameras on the latest flagship smartphones are worthy replacements for point-and-shoot compacts. The image quality won't be better, necessarily, but this is more than made up for by conveniences such as easy sharing and not having to carry around a second device.
Choosing between one smartphone and another can often come down to which one has the better camera. While the number of megapixels can give you a general idea of the camera's quality (five megapixels is average, eight-plus megapixels is in the above-average category), real-world testing is the only way to properly judge each camera.
