Many of the latest mobile phones are highly versatile in their capabilities; some among them come with sophisticated imaging options and can also be used as digital cameras and video recorders. Camera mobile phones, as these handsets are commonly called, are immensely popular among people having an active interest in photography as well as tech-savvy users wanting to experience the latest know-how available in the market. Recognizing this growing demand for camera phones, all the leading handset manufacturers have been designing, developing and marketing their models of camera mobiles. One such camera phone par excellence is the Nokia N93.

The Nokia N93 is empowered with Carl Zeiss optics and comes equipped with a megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom. A person using the handset can capture images and video clips; the quality of the images is highly impressive. He can also send the same as MMS messages to other compatible mobile phones. Samsung, another leader in mobile handset manufacture, is also concentrating on this niche market segment. Handsets such as the Samsung E900 are a proof of that endeavor. This third generation (3g) mobile phone comes with a 1.3 megapixel digital camera and a video recorder. The good battery life of this 3g handset makes the inherent imaging options all the more valuable.

Yet another mobile phone which is innovative in its imaging capabilities as well as highly stylish in its looks is the LG U8330. A 180 degree rotating digital camera makes this mobile phone quite unique. The camera is equipped with 2x digital zoom and a built in flash light and can be used for capturing the best moments of one’s life. These and other camera mobile phones such as the Motorola V3i D&G have brought in an element of fun and creativity in otherwise busy modern lives.
