Megapixel Extras

The trend of camera phones is to have more megapixels and more. But it is simply accumulating extra pixels in a camera phone enough to who is the best there is, or is more needed?

Nokia N97 – the 5 megapixel contender

Let's begin this journey the world of camera phones with a true smartphone from Finland, the Nokia N97. If this were an article on smart phones, Nokia N97 as the most likely walk away with the title, but the focus here is just the camera, and what makes it special. The Nokia N97 is equipped with a camera 5 megapixels, which, surprisingly enough, was considered the high end of the camera that you could get on a phone.

Five megapixels is a little bit outdated now, but the Nokia N97 not only rely on the number of pixels. In contrast, the Nokia N97, you get top-end Carl Zeiss lenses, for ensure that the sensor is to find the clearest picture you can. Thus, while the Nokia N97 can have only 5 megapixels (and that's a big 'only'), which ensures that the image is recorded in those 5 million pixels is as sharp as can be.

Samsung Omnia HD – 8 megapixels and HD Video

The next, we travel into the realm of phones with 8 megapixel camera, with the HD Samsung Omnia. The difference in pixel count is clear, but more than that, Samsung make some of the best optical camera in the phone world, making the truly wonderful Omnia Samsung HD camera phone. However, it also has an ace up its sleeve than any other camera phone still can match: the real HD video recording. The HD Samsung Omnia is the only telephone in the world today that can record real HD video, and will certainly give you a competitive advantage.

Sony Ericsson Idou – the best camera phone in existence?

No tour of the best camera phones would be complete without the phone which is due to arrive in October. The Nokia N97 may have 5 megapixels, and HD Samsung Omnia can sport 8, but the superb Sony Ericsson Idou has a large 12 megapixel camera. While the number of megapixels is not the only concern a camera phone, you can not deny that the extra 4 million pixels in the Idou Sony Ericsson will make a difference. However, even here, not just megapixel here, like the Sony Ericsson Idou is also loaded with Cyber-Shot technology as auto focus, smile detection, and endless other options to improve their photos. Also the phone is only one of these three that has a real xenon flash, so the Sony Ericsson Idou really alone have decent photos in dark places. So, as you can see, while the number of megapixels is important, equally important, what else is the camera phone has built, and the fact that the more megapixels and more extra technology, the Sony Ericsson Idou is simply light years ahead of the other two phones on display here.
