This would be the only reason I would bother carrying a separate camera, jpegs are pretty much all created equal and most smartphones today can capture images that are close enough in overall quality to that of compact cameras that the advantage for me in making room onboard is negated. Besides I can share the image via email, text, social media or Bike Forums in a snap.
