  1. Sony Ericsson K750i (2005)

    The absolute king of mobile photography that completely changed the game. While built-in cameras existed before it, the K750i was the first device to prove that a phone could genuinely replace a standalone point-and-shoot digital camera.

    ARM9 110 MHz processor, 34 MB internal memory, Memory Stick Duo slot, 1.8-inch TFT display, 176x220 resolution, 2 MP camera with autofocus, dual LED flash and mechanical lens cover, Bluetooth 1.2, Infrared, FM radio with RDS, 900 mAh Li-Po battery, dimensions 100x46x19.5mm, weight 99 g.

    The brilliance of the K750i lay in its digital camera mimicry. Sliding down the active lens cover on the back instantly booted up the camera app, and the dedicated shutter button featured a two-stage press for autofocusing—a massive innovation for 2005. Its image quality was completely unmatched at the time.

  2. The real reason I still use "real" cameras instead of cameraphones, is because no camera brand makes cameraphones.

    Except Sony; or at least they did. Even Sony had to eventually cut back on photography-centric design to cater to the overwhelming Tiktok and AI-ridden consumer market.

    Every phone manufacturer today boasts cutting-edge camera technology, only to be crippled by camera software that has little to do with photography.
