Portraying the digital still camera as an endangered species has been a popular pastime for years in the cellphone industry...

The author's opening sentence pretty much explains it all. He has no clue about real photography. Yeah, cell phones can take great pictures these days. But they're in no danger of killing off traditional cameras anytime soon.
