The number of cameraphones sold around the world continues to explode, with four times as many cameraphones sold last year as digital cameras.

Chris Ambrosio, analyst with Strategy Analytics, says vendors from the digital camera world are going to have to work harder because cameraphones are becoming more widespread. Cameraphones will capture 15 percent of the total low-end camera market by 2010, and it will be increasingly difficult to sell a regular digital camera as a second device to people who already own a multi-megapixel cameraphone, he says.

Many people might ask themselves why they need a digital camera at all if their phone does the same thing.
