Megapixels & Camera Phones

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-think-about dept.

CEmongler writes "Consumer Electronics publication CoolTechZone.com tackles the integrated camera attachments in today's cell phones. According to the author, "The camera integration has in fact reached such a stage that any self-respecting phone would incorporate at least a megapixel camera. The cutting-edge feature to have though is the 2-megapixel variety. The question is: is it really worth the extra money you pay for it? Without getting into model-by-model comparisons, I am questioning the entire range of 2-megapixel camera phones. Are they really worth it? For the most part, no."

  1. It's about using the camera by emj · · Score: 1, Troll

    This article is FUD.

    I use my mobilep hone camera, it's a lousy 1MP. Using a 2MP camera phone really makes it possible to see details and colours. You can argue that this has nothing to do with the amount of Mega Pixels your camera has; e.g. the lense, the CMOS area, is more important etc etc. But more megapixels usually means better quality.

    Should you buy a new phone just because it's a 2MP camera, why not! If you take pictures, tell my why I wouldn't want them in better resolution?

    Last year amounted to 20MB (~200-300 pics) of photos from my phone. Most of them would never have been shot if I didn't have a mobile phone with a camera, and I assure you that I want to keep alot of them.
