a cellphone camera is useful if you get into an auto accident;chances are
you will usually have your CP with you,but not your Nikon.

Actually I always carry my small mpeg4 digital camera / video player/ audio recorder just for that,
Maybe one day I will make a lot of $$$$ when space shuttle falls in front of me, with selling real
movies to the papers.
But I did an other experiment recently.
I have this small mp3 player that also records, and it can record to 400 hours ? dunno exactly,
So I switched it to recording, put it in my shirt pocket, went on the motor shopping.
So way under all clothing.
Playing back, apart from some clothing noises, I could hear how fast I was driving, even the ticking
of the direction indicators, slowing down at traffic lights, conversation in shops, also
from other people there, together with time stamp :-)
It was easy to reconstruct the whole trip....
So as 'evidence', for for example how fast you went, or what you did, this is a cool feature.
Of course I forgot it was there, only when back at home all of the sudden I remembered it...
Was still running.
Few more years with this ever increasing flash capacity, and we can have a video camera button with
sound.
Wearing one will probably be a required feature by then for everybody, as part of anti-terrorist
legislation...

LOL
Do not blame me for the idea :-)
Privacy? What privacy?
