Checking Out The Best Smartphone Camera Models

By David Throop


Today's smart phone cameras are more powerful and smarter than ever. Yet, not all of these amazing phones are created equal and some have better features than others. Here are some important features to look for, to help you save money and get the best smartphone camera possible.

No one wants to spend time waiting for the camera to boot up. Look for phones that are quick and simple to use. Some phones are ready instantly to let you take the perfect shot every time. This is very important for people that like to capture life in action, especially when it comes to pets and children.

Megapixels are often heavily advertised with cameras. However, many smart phone users have very little knowledge of megapixels or even know what they are. A pixel is a tiny component of a digital image and it takes a million of them to create one megapixel. The more megapixels within an image the clearer it should be, but this is only up to a point. In fact, megapixels may not be such a major issue these days.

When you check into megapixels (MP) on smart phone cameras, take your photo needs into consideration. For example, when you are taking images to upload to your favorite social network, 5 megapixels or more should be sufficient. However, if you plan to take images for prints, you will need more. Yet, most smart phone camera are not designed for print images, so megapixels are not as important as most people think and a 16 MP model may cost much more than an 8 MP model, but not deliver much better pictures.

When you check into top smartphones you'll see things like digital image stabilization features. This is good to have if you take a lot of pictures on the go. Maybe you like taking action shots or movies from inside of you car. If your phone has digital image stabilization it will eliminate many of the blurring effects from shaking and camera movements.

You may see an "HDR" function on some of the smart phone units and this refers to high dynamic range. HDR takes three separate images of the same picture and combines them into a single image that is clearer and sharper. It works best for images with still subjects like scenery and when taking photos with a lot of action, it may not be effective.

Whenever it is too dark for normal images, a good LED flash can save the day. Make sure your new phone has LED flash and you may want to pay extra for a phone that has dual LED flash. This will give you better flash photos but it comes with a price. It uses more power and it can be more expensive.

To get the best buy on smart phone cameras, make sure you get one that is simple to use and operate. Do not be too concerned about megapixels or even HDR, but dual LED flash and digital image stabilization can come in very handy, if you want to spend a little extra.
