Many people are choosing to use their phone to take their holiday snaps rather than take a camera with them. This means they have less to carry and also less to lose or damage. Some phone cameras are really quite good, offering quality images and some even have the option of taking panoramic shots and also HD videos.
Another advantage of using your phone as a camera is that you can upload your shots straight to social media sites such as Facebook or you can add them to a drop box account for your friends and family to view. Long gone are the days of having to carry around reams of film or waiting days to get your photos developed.
Using your phone as a camera can drastically increase your battery usage meaning it will not last as long and may need charging every day or so at least.
