You clearly haven't used a camera on a phone in the last 5 years, and if you're using an amazing lens that makes the moon look like a "big white disc," it's not the camera that's at fault. It's the photographer. The 2 year old HTC Evo I'm typing this on has a 5mp 3D camera that shoots video at 720p, and will DEFINITELY do a lot more than I've bothered to figure out. Every control my Nikons have is on here, with the exception of exposure bracketing.

For some examples of what someone who actually knows what to do with a camera phone (unlike myself) take a look at this page...

I'd be proud to have shot these photos with a 24mp Nikon, and these were shot on an iPhone.
