I want a mobile phone with a good camera in it

Crazy_Jamie

Or to be more precise my mother does. Her contract is up for renewal in a month, and her main criteria is that she seems to want a phone with a decent camera. Now as far as I'm aware nearly all mobile phones have the same issue, namely that they may have a decent number of megapixels, but the lense is pretty terrible, making for some less than efficient photo taking. I have a Samsung G600 at the moment, and whilst the pictures are good quality, there's a few second delay between pushing the button and taking the picture, during which time you'd better hope that your subject doesn't move (fine if you're taking a picture of a sunset, not fine if your subject is a pet or child).

Apparently there is a new Nokia N series with a very good quality camera and lense, but it's also a 16GB MP3 player, which is very much surplus to requirements. So any good suggestions from you fine people that would meet the requirements?

I second this Crazy Jamie - I am out of contract now and looking for a phone - my main aim is to get a good camera on it - I also don't want super duper mp3 as I love my ipod too much.

Come on guys- any ideas? I prefer slide or flip by the way!

Just upgraded to the Ericsson C905 which has 8.1MP, nice bit of kit so far!

My daughter is an art student and she has just upgraded her phone with a decent camera in mind.

Got her the Samsung Pixon M8800 which she is very pleased with.

I reviewed loads for Christmas as I just wanted a phone with a good camera and no other requriement and decided on the Sony Ericsson K800i - absolutely smashing pictures and easy to use. Whilst it does have the autofocus similar to your Samsung it has an absolutely wonderful button called bestpic - it takes 6 or 8 pictures at once and you just choose your favourite and delete the rest.

I'd say both of those are worth a look. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
