To add to your sentiment, I have a Sony camera that can:

* Wirelessly transfer images to my phone.

* Do so with a tap, as it has an embedded NFC tag. (Sets up a wifi-direct connection.)

* Be remotely controlled by my phone, including a laggy but usable viewfinder display on my phone screen.

Cameras that are phone accessories already exist, and they're pretty cool.

My Fujifilm cameras do the same (and the X30's implementation is pretty great as of the latest Remote App updates) -- the remote viewfinder and controls aren't even that laggy now! Crazy stuff considering it's consumer equipment :)
