hey y'all
im not too sure if this should be in pictures or tech, but i would want to ask for someone to do me a little favor...
im planning on buying the nokia 6233 or the nokia n73. they have some pretty nice cameras according to reviews and stuff but i want to see some samples of pictures taken by them. if anyone owns the phone(s) and would like to take some sample pics in some of the different settings to post up here that would be fantastic! thanks

3.2 megapixels means there's 3.2 million pixels in one photo. Generally, the bigger the MP, the better it is when it comes to developing your photos, as it gives you a wider range of possibilites.

However, if you're not going to be developing photos, and are fine with smaller pictures to view on the computer, then a camera phone with a smaller MP would be fine.

As for picture quality, here's some reviews I found online (from the same site) regarding the cameras:

The Nokia 6233 comes complete with a 2 megapixel camera with 8 x digital zoom which is very easy to use & the zoom is very clear & smooth. The camera has a mode to allow the user to capture the perfect photo in either portrait or landscape. The 6233 also allows the user to take video recording which can be sent via email, sent via multimedia message service (MMS) or simply stored on the phones memory & viewed as desired. The phone comes with 70 mega bytes of built in memory which is great for storing all of the messages, videos & photos.

The integrated 3.2 megapixel camera is of outstanding quality & has a 20 x digital zoom & autofocus option. The user can use the cameras built in flash when taking a photo in duller conditions. The camera feature comes with a capture key which makes taking a photo quick & easy for the user. The Nokia N73 camera feature comes with many different setting modes to ensure the user will capture the perfect photo each & every time. The user can select a camera mode which provides automatic, off, on, or eye reduction mode. The user may select an advanced camera mode which includes still, sequence & video mode. The user can select from normal, sepia, black & white, vivid & negative to change the colour effect of their photo. The user can capture photos in different ways by selecting either automatic, user defined, close up, landscape, sport, portrait or night setting. The user can use the second VGA camera to take part in a video call. The VGA camera comes with a 2 x digital zoom which allows the user to get a closer image on the video call. The user can store their photos on the phones memory, send to other contacts via multimedia messaging service or email, print using Nokia Xpress printing & download to other devices using the phones connectivity options.

Based on the two reviews, I'd go for the N73, considering it has many more features, the more important ones being autofocus and built in flash.

Neither of the reviews have examples of pictures, but I'm sure you could ask the people who work at the store to show you some examples. Considering the 3.2 MP and the many features that come with the N73, though, you can be assume that the image quality will be fine, if not superb.
