All leading manufacturers now have camera phones with resolution of 5.0 megapixel which is all set to go further up. Rumors about a colossal 10 megapixel camera are making rounds recently. With high resolution, almost every camera phone today features advanced imaging tools like zoom, flash, autofocus, special effects and in many cases a fully evolved picture/video editor. Other than functionality, camera phones has also undergone a drastic in its outlook. Gone are the days when a camera phone is as big and heavy as a brick. They now feather weight, comes in razor slim casing with highly stylized outlook.

Camera phones enjoys many advantages over digital camera for their size, ease of use and their multi-functional qualities. Price is another factor working in favor of camera phones. In fact, many experts predicts that camera phones will completely wipe out digital camera in the future.
