Best Answer

The concept behind mobile phone cameras and digital cameras are fundamentally the same, but as far as their components go, digital cameras remain superior. Camera phones can come close to the megapixel count of digital cameras (some mobile phones in Japan sport higher than 16MP cameras), but they can't really match other components like lenses, apertures, flash, and sensors.

The main reason is that some components require more space than a mobile phone can allow. A real strobe flash ,for instance, is too big for mobile phones, thus they only use LED lights which aren't actual flashes. Lens quality is also an issue, but lenses from popular manufacturers (think Carl Zeiss) are usually better.
