Camera phones steals low-end digital camera market : Within two years, low-end camera phones will take much of the market share now held by low-end digital cameras. ABI Research principal analyst of global wireless operator research Kenneth Hyers says, "We believe that within the next two years, the quality of a mobile phone camera will be such that people won't need low-end digital cameras. This will dramatically impact camera sales." ABI Research's new study "Mobile Phone Imaging: Opportunities for Driving Usage of Camera Phones through Click/Send/Print" identifies the drivers for camera phone growth, explains how mobile imaging will evolve, and discusses why camera phones will displace portions of the digital camera market.
