... Spectators can be blurred beyond recognition...with photoshop...make bystanders...look "incidentally out of focus" rather than "deliberately anonymized"...
...When using a good camera, the bigger the aperture (the smaller the f-number) the smaller the depth of focus. This also increases the amount of light hitting the film, meaning you can speed up the shutter speed...
Film? Hahahahah! And ... adjustable settings on little tiny digital cell phone camera chips and their little tiny lenses? Hahahahah!
"Good" is in the eye of the beholder, and on Wikipedia, the kind of images presented as fair use are barely 100 pixels in either dimension - about equal to 0.01 megapixels! ANY camera captures w-a-y more than that, and uploading ~100x pixel copies (even of other people's photos) as fair use reference images probably would pass muster in an encyclopedia. Does anyone know of any case law in this new field?
Regarding the presumption that cell phones aren't going to be a useful source of images, that's just blind to reality. Cell phones are just as "serious" image capture devices as any other camera. They have arrived: see National Geographic's "The Camera Phone Book" at http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/product/175/3690/122.html "... the book explains how to choose good equipment; take better pictures; and store, print, and send the best images...Featuring the technical savvy of CNet.com's Aimee Baldridge and the creative skill of National Geographic photographer Robert Clark, a camera phone pioneer, this compact yet comprehensive reference combines up-to-the-minute expertise with superb examples...this generously illustrated nuts-and-bolts guide is the first of its kind to treat these units as genuine cameras instead of novelties, and the only one to include a full-color photo-essay demonstrating the full capabilities of the latest camera phones...2007..."
PS - Off Topic - the smaller the image capture size, the greater the depth of field focus. The beauty of the cell phone camera is that it's so small that everything is in focus near to far all the time - lens aperture settings are pretty much meaningless and inaccessible. As they say, "take the picture now, you can always fix it in photoshop later!" Photoshop legit copies start ~$5US for older version on eBay and there are many free programs that offer tools to accomplish cropping, resizing, sharpening, blurring and other image tweaks functions.
