Megapixels don't neccessarily mean a better photo.
A dedicated camera with less megapixels will take better photo than a camera phone.
Personally I can't stand the camera's on phones, and would rather have my pocket bulge a little more with an actual point-and-shoot camera. But to each his own I suppose.

Having tried most.. Sony Ericsson camera phones have best quality IMO.

the new C905 ?

[gore.rubicon]

True. That's why I rely on comparisons. Sorta like headphone reviews you might say.

Here's a nice recent one from GSM arena:

Grand 8 megapixel shootout: The latest and greatest - GSMArena.com

With that, I'd pick the Samsung Innov8 since I txt message a lot and touchscreens are a pain. I'm also a Symbian believer

. If price is an issue, the N82 is a must have with it's Xenon. I still can't believe Nokia doesn't have a new Xenon phone to replace the N82 after almost 2 years. Perhaps soon. I hope with OLED as well.

n82 w/ xenon flash get my vote...i have a n85 and i am quite happy w/ the pic qulity when flash is not used...but i really wish nokia have put both xenon flash for photo and dual led for video shooting...

 

[quanganh101090]

Sony Ericsson C905 and K850i have that. Led for video & focus, xenon for taking picture. The only camera phone I think is better than C905 is samsung P850, only 3.2mp, but no noise at all. great

 

[shubhangam]

I had an N82 (before it was stolen) and its camera is one of the best I have even experienced on a cellphone. Its quality was at par with my PnS Sony W5 cam.. Highly recommended IMO

 

[mape00]

I got a N95 as well and it has a pretty good camera (it's also an awesome phone/interwebz communications device/PDA/GPS/music player/video player/remote control/lazer sword/etc.). However, it's only got a LED flash, and it's pretty damn expensive (unless you're lucky and find a lightly used one for $150 .

SE k850i is also supposed to be quite good. In its time, the predecessor k750i was kind of the reference of mobile cameras.

Dont waste your money on anything above 5mp. I have the LG secret wich has a 5mp camera and the pictures come out razor sharp. I believe the LG secret is also the slimmest 5mp with flash and autofocus phone available on the market. There is simply no need for more megapixels. At this point other factors are more important.

I'm truly satisfied with the pictures. Other then that I totally hate the phone though.

N82 is what I use. It takes above average pictures and videos. It has swappable memory and can be purchased unlocked, which is great for folks who are constantly on the go!


The N95 would be a nice alternative choice.
