I've been wanting a cell phone with a camera for a while. Hopefully DH will read this thread and find out how useful an EDC camera is and get me one. So far I've been able to convince him that an EDC camera would be neat, but I have not been able to convince him that one would be necessary. So, could one of you experts please tell me how an EDC camera can help in an emergency?

I started keeping a camera in my car after I totaled my first car. The tow truck driver was really nice and let me go to a convience store to get a camera to take pictures of my (wrecked) car. After that I put a cheap wind-up camera and a roll of film in my glove compartment just in case.
