Well, there's no way it can match the quality of a high-end digital
camera, sure. But low-end digital cameras (i.e., the little subcompact
models you get for $300) have keitai-sized lenses (at least, some of
them do: certainly my Casio Exlim does) and take much, much better
photographs than the 505i series at the same resolution.
I'm not complaining about not having top quality on my phone; I'm
complaining that I can't even do a 3x5 print from it that looks anywhere
near as good as the 3x5 print off my camera running at the same
resolution.
