Because you can. I'm being just a little facetious. However, you might slice it up to form smaller, more flammable particles. I'm not at all sure how readily celluloid film would burn - nitrate film is entirely a different matter. It's highly flammable.

Check out the Nikon Coolpix AW-100. It is a good camera and is equipped with a GPS and basic mapping. I have actually used it (as an experiment) to navigate with. It is also very water resistant, shock resistant and cold resistant. I will vouch for its durability. Again I don't think of a camera as a survival tool, but this one comes the closest that I have seen.

"Disposable" water-proof cameras still use film. I agree their lens is probably too small to be useful for fire-starting.

Another example is after getting bitten by a snake or other animal, having a photo of it to help identify what antidote you need. (Killing the snake is even better, but not always convenient.) This could be useful even if there's no signal where you are, provided you get rescued quickly enough.
