Video camera

I am looking for a good quality digital camera. So do some phones have the same quality as separate digital cameras. What are some examples of each?

Also what if I wanted a good quality video camera as well?

Thanks

Your budget is important, do you want to buy a phone outright or on a contract ?

Also important is your definition of "good quality digital camera". Is it for family snapshots that will go no further than fartbook, or publication quality action photographs?

For a long time the Nokia n8 was regarded as the best camera phone (12meg), the Nokia lumina 920 is also good from all accounts, then there's the Nokia pureview 808. The htc one s also has a good camera, I can't comment on apples offerings I'm afraid

Thanks.

I want to use the photos for my business website so want them to look professional. Doesn't have to be super impressive just not look bad quality.

Also, I dont actually need phone and camera in one unit together, I just happen to need a new phone with better sound quality, and new camera at the same time but could buy separately.

Dont know where to post if just about cameras either..

I would forget a phone based camera if you want the pictures to look more professional.
Consider either a "compact" or "bridge" camera. Look at the Panasonic Lumix range for ideas. Not particularly suggesting you buy one of those, but it shows you the sort of thing that is available - and they do have a good reputation as it happens.
I'd only consider a bridge camera if you are a little more serious about your photography and either understand the subject or are happy to take the time to experiment and learn.

If you want to start a thread just about cameras, try the "Techie Stuff" area.

that makes it clearer, compact camera sounds appropriate for my needs.

Buy a video camera instead of a phone (doh!!!!!)

Yes have started to think that video is where i will have problems with quality. Maybe even a camcorder rather than camera that can do video, so for 100-200 can a comcorder do decent still photos?

There is a lot of misinformation regarding digital camera ect ..

10 million megapixels sounds nice but looks like ars on a smart phone!

Get yourself a proper camcorder with full HD recording facility!!!!
