Digital Camera or Cell phone with built in camera?

Admin Great Price Zone

 For those who are in the market for a new digital camera you might want to consider looking at upcoming mobile phone technology. To give you a glimpse of what a cell phone with built in camera has to offer we decided to use the new model by LG the KG920 as our example. The KG920 has an impressive 5 mega pixel built in camera. Just with that spec alone it is enough to make your decision that much harder from choosing between a digital camera and a cell phone with a high mega pixel camera. A bit of a specification on the KG920:  • Phone Type: Triband  • Networks: GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900  • Connectivity options: GPRS, Java, Bluetooth, USB  • Ringtone options: 64-chord polyphonic ringtone; ringtone downloads  • Phonebook capacity:1000-entry phonebook • Dimensions: (W x D x H)180 x 50 x 18.9 mm • LCD display size: 2-inch; 320 x 240 pixels • Battery type(s) supported: Rechargeable 820mAh Lithium-ion battery • Max. talktime (in hours): 3 hours  • Max. standby time (in hours): 180 hours  • Internal memory: 8 MB  • Expansion slot(s): miniSD • Can be rotated: 180 degree • Maximum Photo resolution: 2592 х 1944 pixels • 320 х 240 pixels for video-clips • File size varies from 200 Kb (normal quality) to 2 Mb (best quality). • Price: Est. $680 USD

Now let's take a look at a Canon 5 mega pixel digital camera. We chose the model SD430 as our example. Here's the spec: • Max. resolution: 2592 x 1944  • Low resolution: 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 640 x 480  • Image ratio w:h: 4:3  • Effective pixels: 5.0 million  • Sensor photo detectors: 5.0 million  • Sensor size: 1/2.5 "  • Sensor type: CCD • Built-in Flash: Yes • Storage types: SD/MMC card  • Storage included: 16 MB SD card • LCD: 2.0 "  • LCD Pixels: 118,000 • Weight (inc. batteries): 185 g • Dimensions: 99 x 54 x 22 mm • Notes: Built-in WiFi wireless • USB: Yes • Price: around $499.99 USD

Now don't get us wrong, we know that those are two different types of machine and we are not trying to compare them side by side. But as a consumer it sure makes us think twice before we jump into purchasing a digital camera for the price we're paying. Although we cannot tell you which to choose over the other, however we can tell you that if you are in the market for a new digital camera, you might want to take a look in the mobile phone market. As you can see the LG Kg920 cost est. $680 USD and the Canon SD430 cost around $500 USD maybe you might want to consider getting the KG920 for just a bit more to get the best of both worlds. But of course when everything comes down to it at this point a cell phone built in camera has its limit, and probably cannot replace every feature that a digital camera can offer. If you demand high quality photo images then a digital camera would perhaps serve you better.
