Camera Phones are slowly replacing the traditional Digital Camera. Grainy low-quality images from phones are a thing of the past. Its now easier than ever to take good quality photos and make a telephone call from a single device.

Most of the latest mobiles come packed with features to ensure you get the best possible picture including Zenon flash allowing photos to be taken in a low light such as Nightclubs or Pubs. However because of the size of mobile phones they are never going to be able to squash all the technology that is available in a traditional Digital Camera. For the occasional picture they are the ideal solution.
