Now that all the mobile phones come with really awful digital cameras built in, I expect most Japanese will stop using their digital cameras--just like they have stopped using their computers and word processors.

I'm technical so I wouldn't consider mine to be broken unless there was something wrong with the physical hardware of it. Someone non-technical may consider their camera broken if the flash memory needs a format or whatever. Was there any explanation about what it meant for one’s camera to be “broken”?
