Best camera is the one you have with you. That often means the camera in your phone.
On the other hand, camera phones are quite limited compared to all but the very cheapest of point-&-shoots, with small sensors & no manual focus or optical zoom.
Sony's solution is a peripheral with a large sensor (1 inch, 2.54 cm), manual focus & 10x optical zoom.
