No camera with a lens smaller than a dime and a sliver of a sensor will ever, ever, ever be as good as a big piece of glass in front of a big piece of silicon.

My camera is an ancient f707 (but I'd never want to part with it) and no little toy camera built into a phone (or future convergence device) will ever be as good as even that antique.
