We are booked for a European river cruise in September and I'm trying to decide whether to use my cell phone or invest in a camera to record the sites and scenery. Our photographic "orientation" is more casual these days, but DW would like to create a photographic trip memories book using one of the commercial services. I used to take tons of pix using a SLR but they remain mostly stored and unseen these days.
I've used the cell phone for photography almost exclusively lately. Advantages are: 1) I generally have it with me, 2) it takes pretty decent pictures, 3) pictures are easily uploaded to the "cloud" via wifi. Disadvantages are: 1) Hard to compose shots if screen is washed out in bright sunlight, 2) uses the battery heavily when I'm taking pictures, 3) limited photographic options, 4) no optical zoom, 5) no image stabilization
Looking for recommendations from all the travelers out there.
