Pros and Cons of Camera Phone

A camera phone is a cell phone can shoot and transmit digital images instantly. You press a button to switch the phone to camera mode, aim the lens at your subject and set up the shot by looking at the phone’s built in screen. Depending on the model you select the image quality press a button and the photo can be stored in your phone‘s memory or sent to an email address or another phone.

Pros. Impromptu snapshots of family and friends home-design ideas and new products in stores can be zapped directly to your e-mail address, eliminating the extra step of downloading digital camera images later. Vacation pictures can be sent to family member’s seconds after they are taken.

Cons. Phone to phone image transmissions are possible only between phones using the same service. In some cases the phones must be the exact same model. Images tend to be inferior to those taken by a similarly priced digital camera and few models have a flash.
