Will the Instinct ever have a camera that can zoom in and out

And remember you can always get one of these.

Yeah I was about to post that phone cam zoom lens. Unlike any update that Sprint can give you, that device can actually zoom into the subject of your photograph and not just do it digitally (which never really produces any good pics anyway IMO.)

good because i plan on having this phone for a long time

i want my phone to have a good camera. It is supposed to it is the instinct.

I do agree that if you want an excellent picture then you should probably buy a good camera.  This is a phone.  I love the pictures my Cannon camera takes!  But on the other hand, it will be nice someday to only have to carry one device around!   Which in this case: Zoom and other features will be a must!

Today, we took our son to his first motorcross track and I had three things to carry and take pictures with!  I had my Cannon video camera of course, my Cannon camera and my instinct cell phone!  All three had a purpose, so I needed them all!  I know the instinct takes video and pictures, but not near as good as my Cannon camera and video camera, but I also wanted pictures and video on my phone, b/c I have it with me 24/7!  (And, it's nice to use with picture mail!) 

You just have to remember this is a phone.  It's not a camera or a computer!  If you do that, you are less likely to be dissappointed!   

i understand you all. This is a phone and not a computer if sprint makes the camera better then sprint will make the camera better. Until then i will have to just  except the phone and camera for what they are.

I love the camera but sometimes its pictures suck.

Off topic, but gotta give kudos to Epcot Center and the fireworks display. Amazing.

Also, my response to most things people complain about in regards to the instinct is the same as the people here: it's a phone. I mean if you want a great mp3 player then get something that's designed to specifically be an mp3 player. If you want high quality picture taking, go buy a nice digital camera.

I have 50 gigs of music and take pictures almost everywhere I go. So I accordingly have both an ipod and 7-8 (can't remember) megapixel Panasonic Lumix. I mean, you know I view most of the stuff on the phone as "convenience" such as "I don't have my camera with me, so it's convenient for me to be able to take a picture of the big giraffe with what I have on me now."

I must be in the minority, but I really just bought the phone for the texting, IM (soon to come, right?), phone and web browsing capabilities. And the touch screen. Everything else is just bonus to me. But then again I came from owning a T-Mobile Sidekick, so everything about this phone just seems wonderful to me.
