Everyone of us have our cell phones with an inbuilt camera. This adds some more costs to a cell phone. And we are always ready to purchase it. But can you tell me how often you use your cell phone camera to have a photograph or a video. Only a handful of people are using cell phone camera to some extent. Instead of using cell phone camera we prefer the digital cameras to have some photograph or a video. I can tell you if you use your cell phone camera twice a day then I think it is enough. Then what is the necessity for purchasing camera cell phone?

Oh yes. Most of the time, we have our cellphones with us wherever we go. We do not bring our cameras with us everyday. Cellphones with camera feature really serves the purpose especially in times that we need to take pictures of unplanned events.

I have a cellphone with camera but i seldom use it. Well maybe because i also have a digital camera that is also always with me. I bring it along anywhere i go. Picture is more beautifully taken in a digital camera than a cellphone camera.

I hate camera phones. They have horrible quality and most look like crap. Blurry, over exposed, underexposed, ect. I prefer my baby of a camera. A cannon 30d dslr. Cell phones can never compare to it, and I rather carry that around than a crappy cell phone to take pictures.

That's the main reason that I don't use my cell phone camera - the pictures are not good quality and I would rather carry my camera with me so when I do take pictures, they are decent.

Previously when I owned a mobile phone that came with a 2.1 MP camera, I didn't actually use the camera for taking pictures, at least not pictures that I want to keep. Ever since I own a new mobile phone that came built-in with a 5.1 MP camera and flash, I use it almost in every occasion possible - at a friend's wedding, at a shopping mall where there are interesting stuff, at the gardens where I take zoom-in pictures of flowers and leaves that can become educational material for my kids, and lots more. To me, getting this phone is definitely worth its price.

Actually i use my cell phone camera more than my digital one....as i dont travel everyday....so i dont carry the digital camera along with me.It is only when when i visit some new place or go out of town , i carry my digital camera along.For daily use,i prefer my cell phone camera. Since i am in college, the daily file work which i need to do, i take pictures of my friends' files and can easily do it back home.It is quite a necessity for me....ty..

IMO,a cellphone with a camera is one of the best features it could have..Most people with a cellphone would never leave the house without it,whereas if you have a camera you need to have it ready to go at the time,with a set of batteries (or the built in one charged up) or have some film ready,depending on how gadget friendly you are..A good resolution rating would be a Must,though..my Samsung Camera has a 3 megapixel rating,which is as good as my first digital camera! With the ability to upload a photo to your computer,or directly via MMS to a photo site that you use,the phone cam is very versatile..

I don't have a digital camera so I am using my cellphone camera. I bought cellphone with built in camera for that purpose to use it when there is needed to capture, I have so many pictures now and videos on the phone. If I need to watch my favorite video I just open my phone and have it there. I use it always and I can say I don't have regret purchasing it. My cellphone is very affordable and it has many uses like it has FM radio, and MP4, camera and video. You can also do internet. I love my phone , especially the camera.

I use it rarely since they are still not good in recording as some scens are blurry when it have no flash unlike in digicam or camcorder which is very clear. in important occasion i prefer to use the digicam.camcorder for better clear and crisp pictures and videos which are clear and the sounds is great. thanks

I didn't purchase the phone that I have right now because of the fact that it has a camera on it. I purchased my phone because I liked the fact that it had a full qwerty keyboard. I very rarely use the camera on my cellular phone because it is a pretty crappy camera when it really comes down to it. I have a wonderful DSLR camera that I use for my photography purposes and to replace that with the camera on my phone would be disappointing at best.

cellphone - cellphone with camera feature
Hi Sanjeevsingh, Actually, I used it again this afternoon! But I had not been using it for months because I always bring my digicam with me. This afternoon I wasn't able to bring my digicam because my bag was already full. And... I admit not used to using my cellphone camera for long because from the time I bought this (that was two years ago, in fact), I had never completely familiarized myself with its features, its camera included, lol. It still serves its purpose in lieu of the digicam, at times.

hi sanjeevsingh! I use my cellphone camera most of the time. I think it is nice to have one because, you'll never know when that "special" moment will come. I mean, like for instance you met a star or important person along the way and want to have a souvenir photo with them then, you can perhaps use your phone. I can't bring my digital camera with me all the time but, my phone has always been my accessory and can't leave home without it.

Hi sanjeev, I think you are right friend, there is no necessity of purchasing cell phone with a camera, I have the cell phone with camera, but I don't remember when was the last time I used my cellphone camera.

one thing i consider to purchase a cell phone is the camera. i want a cell phone which is contain a complete feature, include the camera. but i never satisfied with all camera phone i had purchased. so that, i rarely use the camera for special occations. i just use it for fun, and not often either. to have a good quality of photograph, i prefer to use digital camera.

I have a really nice digital camera, but it is usually quicker and easier for me to use my cell phone camera. While the pictures don't turn out quite as nice, I still have the pics I want. I'm thinking about selling my camera because I rarely use it.

I never use the camera in my cellphone.. the reason is that I don't have the means to send it to my computer. It has blue tooth but I do not have any bluetooth device to send data into my computer. The sad part is that my digicam is not working anymore. Also, another reason I do not want to use the cam in the cellphone is that I cannot print it to regular size 3R.. the best you can print it is up to 2.5 inch.. bigger than that and its pixelated.

Camera phones are more common and are starting to become a basic trait of most phones. I think maybe once I've had a phone without a camera, but most of my phones had them or have them. And, quite frankly I hadn't been looking for that feature. I use my camera randomly and when the mood strikes. I do know though, I didn't buy it for the camera, I did it for the keyboard.

I personally use the mobile phone camera every day (or there are just some days when i don-t use it ) Well if i take pic`s every day i download them in my PC only once at 3 days. I take strange pic`s at work or on the street when i see something. I take pic`s in order not to remain scadjules, notes, homeworks, i cheat at test papers takink photo at the page with the lesson and during the test paper i read and copy the text on paper I have some people who take a photo with teir face every morning:)) well i couldn-t do that.
