Top 10 Camera Mobile Phones Of 2009

Nikita Porwal — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:49:15 +0000

Gone are those days when we use to see mobile phones as a single utility device. Today it is much more than picking up calls and sending SMS. You can play music, record videos, watch clips, pay bills, store data, browse internet, get interesting apps on it, take pictures, share it on Facebook, flickr, and much more. Most of the people find taking pictures as the best utility of all, as capturing beautiful moments in life is just unbeatable. While you are on a college trip, or on a family vacation – good quality camera mobile phones can replace professional cameras in taking snap. But then landing up buying a camera cell which is not-so-good can certainly spoil your good moments when you take a hard copy of it. There are certain things you should remember before buying any mobile phone.

In case of camera phones, most of the people make a mistake of thinking that the higher the megapixels, the higher the quality of the phone. But no, megapixels play only 50% of the role and other features you must look at are, autofocus, sensor, flash, optical zoom, speed, interface, panorama options etc. Phones without camera are of rare “phenomenon” today, but not every handset can offer you the best quality.
