Ohhh vlamm's a spy!!
@axxxr:
quite honestly cameras of high quality have been getting smaller and smaller, while phones have been as well you won't find a small camera phone with any decent quality.
As mass' pointed out, you can have a camera in your palm taking pictures discretely, and no one is the wiser. If I was using my digital SLR then sure it wouldn't be inconspicuous for someone to point and say "Hey you, with the large thing in your hand, put that down, I don't want any pictures" .. yet with a creditcard sized 4 or 5 mp camera, it just doens't scream out "this is a camera i'm taking a picture"
...
Phones have come under a spotlight in some ways because of the ways they've been abused but theres no reason that a law shouldnt cover other digital imaging devices, enthusiast digital camers (ie those not big, bulky and obviously a camera) handheld pdas with built in cams, cam phones etc.
Heck they only need to make a sound like the S700i and everyone will know you've snapped a shot ;D

Sorry axxxr, but i disagree with you aswell, and agree with vlamm and masseur.
but i do see your point though, especially with more modern phones, however the same can be done with cams!

I'm with axxxr.
On the train each day I'm always covering my little K700's lens on the back just in case some believes that I'm taking a picture of them while playing games.
(more common cutesy than paranoia)
If I pulled my similar size Sony DSC-P120 digital camera I'm sure if spotted people would wonder why.
.............for example

Its a knee-jerk reaction by an ill informed, panicky, unreasonable few...the hysteria created by a tiny minority, as usual, gets the most publicity and will probably become law.

the only alarm the fone should come with is an anti-theft alarm, i dunno like a phone lock but u type to disable it then if it gets nicked and attempt to use or open ,. blows up in their face
like masseur said u can buy very cheap,small good quality digi cams that would do a much better job for ppl wanting to take secret pics.
And yeh wouldnt tink it would become law wat will they do bann all older type fones without this alarm?
would be a bit like the law on wearing seatbelts cars that werent fitted u dont av to have them, i spose..
