Looking back at the photos of Aidan that I’ve taken recently, I realise that the vast majority have been taken with my camera phone.
Yes, the quality of my Nokia 6131 is vastly inferior to my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, its memory capacity is tiny, and the delay between pressing the button and it actually taking the picture is agonisingly long. However, those limitations are more than offset by the fact that it’s about twenty times smaller and lighter and I carry it with me wherever I go. When it comes to snapping pictures of Aidan doing something unexpected, the portability of a camera phone is unrivalled.
Every parent should have one.
