- jon-wood 10y agoI totally would almost all the time. I use my phone's camera maybe once or twice a week, otherwise its just a useless extra, and I know the occasions on which I'm going to want a device with a camera so I could easily plan for them and take my phone (or a real camera) with me.
- wishinghand 10y agoThat sounds like a minority use case- most people take pictures with phones these days, unless they're professional or amateur photographers.
