The ability to share photos with friends and others is very important and a new staple of digital photographers, both professional and amateur alike. This is where cell phone camera technology has a huge advantage over traditional cameras. With a digital camera, the best you can do is take the photo, download it to a computer, find an internet connection, go to a website, and upload the photo. With a cell phone, it can be as easy as taking the photo, clicking a button, and then uploading the photo to your favorite photo sharing website. With new cell phones with advanced camera technology, more people are choosing them over traditional cameras because they have instant connection to the internet anywhere.
When I was in Hawaii on my honeymoon, I was able to instantaneously send my family photos of the beaches and sunsets from my iPhone. With the new iPhone 3G S, the photos would have been even more crisp. Also, since the new iPhone supports MMS, users will soon be able to send them like text messages to others. iPhone owners can send photos right from the camera application to their MobileMe accounts, through email, to the wallpaper, or assign it to a contact. With endless apps from the App Store, users can upload their photos to their favorite sites like Flicker and Facebook. With ever-increasing 3G speeds and availability as well as the onset of 4G technology, sharing of multimedia photos and videos will continue to increase.
