My Canon S40 died very recently. I loved that camera and I couldn't bring it back to life...tried a new date/time backup battery and other things.
Soon after the camera stopped working, I checked on my cell phone contract and it was time to get a new phone. I used the camera on the cell phone today and I can't believe how good the photos came out! It's not a Canon S40, but I'll take it until I can get a new camera.
The color is suprisingly good considering how extremely poor the photos were with my "old" phone which was bleeding edge back then.
Here is a sample:
Not much shab there for a device's side feature.
The cell phone is a LG VX9800M. Very decent web browsing, too...and for $15/mo "extra" for unlimited browsing/VCAST stuff.
