Discover Today's Hottest Camera Cell Phone Models

Not all camera cell phones are created equal. Some models have become so sophisticated that they are beginning to compete as viable substitutes to regular digital cameras. Cell phones like the Samsung A990 for Verizon, the Samsung MM-A940 for Sprint, the Sony Ericsson w810i for Cingular and the LG enV VX9900 for Verizon have raised the bar of what a customer can expect from an advanced, full-featured camera phone.

Let's take a closer look at these cell phones to see what they offer.

Samsung A990 Camera Phone for Verizon

The Samsung A990 for Verizon Wireless embodies many of the cutting-edge features that customers can expect from a camera phone today. It breaks new ground by being the first carrier-supported cell phone in the US offering a resolution of 3.2MP, which translates into a 2048x1536 Pixel maximum resolution. In a market where 1.3MP is the standard, the A990 offers more than twice the picture quality, making it capable of taking true print-quality photos even with good-size enlargements.

To take full advantage of its resolution, the A990 is one of the few cell phones sporting an auto-focus feature, which allows you to obtain a clear and sharp image of your subject regardless of distance. Also, the Samsung A990 for Verizon gives you a video recorder that can take up to 1 hour clips, which, together with this cell phone's enhanced resolution, makes it a serious, pocket-size alternative to a conventional camera or video camera.

Samsung MM-A940 Camera Phone for Sprint PCS

With its modular-looking swivel display and side-mounted camera, the Samsung MM-A940 for Sprint PCS is a cell phone specifically designed for photo and video imaging. Its design allows a comfortable grip as well as the possibility to swivel the screen to either a portrait or landscape mode while keeping the camera pointed at the subject.

And at 2.0MP, its resolution is well above the 1.3MP average, yielding grain-free images even with moderate enlargements, something that up to recently was only possible with digital cameras. In all, the Samsung MM-A940 gives photo and video amateurs some of the most advanced features in a camera cell phone.

Sony Ericsson w810i Walkman for Cingular

Besides having impressive music capabilities, the Sony Ericsson w810i Walkman for Cingular is also one of today's best camera cell phones. It too stands out by offering an above-average resolution of 2.0MP, as well as an auto-focus feature that allows you to capture your subject crisply and sharply without effort and regardless of distance.

Also, the W810i offers some outstanding video capabilities, thanks to both the camera's high resolution and the length of the clips, which is limited only by available memory. Lastly, the Sony Ericsson w810i for Cingular incorporates an editing program called Video DJ, which allows users to create custom video and still-picture sequences right from their cell phones.

LG eNV Camera Phone for Verizon Wireless

The LG enV VX9900 for Verizon Wireless is a sleek candy-bar phone that yields superior photo and video performance With its 2.0MP resolution as well as its auto-focus feature, it falls in the category of cell phones that can capture true print-quality images. Its video capability is also above-average, with the possibility of taking clips up to one hour long with available memory.

Together with the Sony Ericsson w810i, the LG enV for Verizon is a good representation of a growing breed of cell phones that incorporates both advanced music capabilities and cutting-edge photo and video features.

This is a sample of what's becoming available in the 2007 camera cell phone market. While undoubtedly the future holds even more advanced models, the great leap in resolution and features from last year to this year places today's cell phones in the category of great-quality electronic do-it-alls. With one device, you can now take print-quality pictures, listen to crystal-clear digital music, surf the web, send and receive emails and, naturally, communicate with those who matter.
