I'd disagree with that. If I have those features, I might not *need* to go get my "real" camera. I might not even have time. Or be able to get it. I might want those features at a spot where I'm willing to risk putting my secondary camera in a location I wouldn't be willing to put my "real" camera (like balanced precariously in the fork of a tree branch).

If you're always just going to go get your "real" camera, you might as well not bother buying a "secondary" camera, and just use your camera phone for everything else.
