Click, edit and upload pics with your camera phone

Twenty years ago, did anyone think that we could click a picture from a handset? May be nobody except a few researchers and tech-savvy people. The technological advancement and the need to develop a smart gadget which is above a plain handset gave birth to camera phones.

Today's smartphones not only give you an option to click pictures but they also provide a special software. With the help of it, you can edit and upload pictures on your email and social networking profiles in few seconds.

The camera phones are being used as low end compact digital cameras and thus fulfill the need to carry a smart gadget while travelling. They not help you click pictures but also record videos of high qualilty. These phones are more advanced. In some camera phones, you can find Carl Zeiss optics, in some you will find dual LED Flash and some come up in high definition format. All these give you clear and sharp pictures which you can upload on your personal computer or laptop.

In the market, almost every handset is loaded with a camera. These mobile phones prove beneficial both personally and professionally and also during calamities and urgencies. A number of handsets keep camera buttons separate so that users can use them quickly and conveniently.

In the recent past, these camera phones proved to be very helpful to the media and government in finding  out what happened during a particular event or natural calamity. The citizen journalists and sufferers clicked the pictures and provided them to media. This helped give true picture and provide urgent and immediate relief to the victims.

Major manufacturers which make cameras for mobile phones include Toshiba, Sharp, Omnivision, and Aptina. Almost every mobile manufacturer including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, LG and Blackberry include camera as a key feature in their handsets. The quality of camera in some handsets like Sony Ericsson phones is equivalent to high digital cameras.

Nowadays, imagining a handset without camera seems to be a foolish thought. What's your view?
