Using Two Cameras on One Trip- The Benefits of Having Both

I recently went on a field trip with my daughter and grabbed my CoolPix L32.  I got it for Christmas but was doubting my request since I use my Iphone 4s for almost all my picture taking.  However, I was happy I did.  The service provider for my phone was sketchy in the field trip city.  I forgot the first day to change the setting to airplane mode so that it did not drain my battery and the phone died shortly after we arrive.  I was happy to have my "real" camera or I would have lost the entire day.

This was taken with the CoolPix camera.


I am still not sure how to take great pictures with the Cool Pix but Kate has assured me I can learn.

The Iphone camera is very handy and I am able to take a quick shot... some are even good.  :)  Carrying the CoolPix seemed cumbersome throughout the day especially the second day when I did not even use it (phone was on airplane mode and made it the whole day).  I am not ready to give up a "real" camera... and I know Kate is not ready!

This was taken with my phone.


What are your thoughts?  Move on to just camera phones or invest in a good "real" camera?
