Cameraphones are not likely to replace digital cameras and camcorders as consumers' primary picture taking device, according to a study recently released by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Arlington, Va., USA, which found that some 91 percent of digital camera owners consider their digital camera to be their main photography device.
The study also found consumers are unaware of the need to archive their digital photos and video - an issue of increasing importance as the penetration rate for digital cameras nears 50 percent with those camera owners snapping billions of pictures each year. According to the more than 1,100 U.S. adults surveyed by CEA, consumers are unaware of the need to back-up digital photos and video. Only 48 percent said they back-up all or most of their images, while the same percentage of video is not backed up at all. Less than half of the consumers are even concerned about losing their imaging content.
