don't need an inferior-quality version on another gadget.
[1] I deliberately bought a metal-bodied camera which felt solidy built,
expecting it might suffer a few knocks once in a while (yes, it has been to
the odd junkyard :) Most of the plastic creations out there look like they'd
fall apart if you so much as sneezed near them...

I've got a
good camera; why would I need a bad one on a phone?
Because they are handy. Really handy. When going thru a junkyard,
warehouse, swapfest, or whatever, they make an excellent extension to
ones visual memory. Don't expect high art - expect a visual notepad.
