Canon 5D beach shots, originally uploaded by Robert Scoble.

robert scoble is the society photographer of web 2.0. he goes to every event, and shoots lots of photos and videos. he just posted a comparison of his mobile phone (a nokia n82) with his big digital slr, and posted two comparison shots. they're not amazing photographs, but i think they make the point that these are getting to be great cameras, with the primary difference for the amateur being the lens. oh, and the weight, and the fact that one is always with you.

and so while they may not be as fast, or have quite as high resolution, they win hands down because they're in your pocket.
