The camera of the Decade is ...

Samsung Galaxy NX (2013)!

Entire camera back is a massive touchscreen
Excellent touch user interface
Entire Android OS - can do anything your smartphone can do
Instagram
Facbook
Live streaming from camera
Internal memory so Micro SD is not required
SIM card for cellular connection
Automatic upload to your cloud storage provider (dropbox, google drive, ...)

Seems to have some valid points. Camera interfaces are from the last century.

Too bad it wasn’t that great as an actual camera, and photographers want mechanical, not touch, interfaces.

Looks like a clickbait video to me.

I wonder how many people are still shooting with a smartphone made in 2013 versus someone with a camera from the same year?

Clickbait is right. That's Tony whatsisname and I put absolutely no credibility in anything he or his trophy wife says.....

Since the integration of the camera into a phone is well advanced, his point that the integration of the phone into cameras as a possible future seems quite valid. He is suggesting what a camera might look like in the future. Whatever people might think of him personally, the points he made are worth discussing.

I won’t be watching the video, but dedicated camera OSs and hardware will no doubt become more sophisticated, built on Android or not. There may be cellular data transfer to Facestagram or better WiFi. Better camera related functionality built into the OS as is already happening today. Better firmware to take advantage of the OS. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to make a voice call on a dedicated camera, obviously ?. I personally don’t need our Tony to tell me any of this, though I do think the evolution of image making devices is moderately interesting.

FAIL! I don't want a pink camera. No need to watch the video as he shows off the pink camera.

Real camera of the decade... iPhone 4. I think that really changed everything for a lot of people.

Or REAL REAL camera... would be the Sony NEX 7.

Actually, it was the first-generation iPhone which changed everything for a lot of people, but it took some a couple or more years to catch up! Those of us who bought that first iPhone were definitely pioneers and while the features and functionality at that point were still pretty limited, it was clear that this device had enormous possibilities. The camera features, though, really didn't start coming into their own for a while, I agree, and I think you're right that it was around the iPhone 4 that the camera really seemed truly usable. That and the apps that were proliferating made all the difference......

The Sony NEX 7 was indeed a game-changer in the photography world! It offered an APS-C sensor rather than the smaller one used for M4/3 and it offered small, lightweight lenses which were amazingly good, and it offered focus peaking, which really blew me away when I saw that. I loved my NEX 7....
