A "camera phone" doesn't cut it for this crowd. They want a camera first and a phone second.

The shutterbug would prefer to have an SLR around their neck at all times, but that gets to be impractical and uncomfortable, too. That means they have to have a solid alternative nearby at all times, and luckily these phones can provide that alternative. This list is made up of devices that have cameras rating at least 5 megapixels, which are increasingly common. Not only do they score high on the megapixel front, they also have good software controlling the camera and produce good photos. Access to photo-sharing services is also included, so those Kodak moments can be uploaded at whim. These phones may not match the capabilities of a huge Canon or Nikon, but they are the next best option when in a pinch.
