Digital Camera or Cell phone with built in camera?

Author: Great Price Zone Admin
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:

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

* Weight (inc. batteries): 185 g
* Dimensions: 99 x 54 x 22 mm

Now do not 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.
