The Camera : Imags & Video Quality : Nokia 3120c

Features
--------
2MP Camera + LED Flash
640*480 Video Recording @ 15fps


Nokia 3120 classic is low budget phone which you can buy arround SL Rs. 12,000/= in Sri Lanka which is around 100USD. Its a normal phone with a Fixed Focus 2MP (Mega Pixel) camera.

I didn't expect much when I bought this phone, but its camera was stunning. Images were very clear and videos were... WOW! :)

Imaging
-------
To tell about its camera, it has a 2MP sensor. Unfortunately it is Fixed Focus. Because of this images are not crisp-clear. But they are of very good quality and is more than sufficient for me (as a Engineering Student).

The camera is good for taking images in the range 1foot to about 10 meters. Of course you can do more, but its quality is best only in a short range. This is because its a Fixed Focus camera. When there is plenty of light, the images turn out to be very good, but if light conditions are low I prefer to use 'Night Mode' instead of its in-built flash.

The best thing about this camera is that it can be used to get photos of notes/books/newspaper articles etc. It comes very handy for students at times. When taken in a distance about 1 foot, letters are very clear and would even be usable in OCR - for text recognition.

Video
-----
The video quality of this phone is just stunning for its price. It has a 640*480 video recording capability and it is very clear when shooting ordinary scenes.

But it is not very effective if you are recording on the go (lets say in a car). The view would look blur if a sudden move is done or taken from a moving environment (moving car).

Conclusion

Ingeneral the camera is awsome for the price. There may be better phones, but no phone would have rigidity and quality for such a low price.

Well-done NOKIA :)

Crash Test : Nokia 3120 Classic

Have you every wondered what would happen if you drop your phone many times?

Unlike any play-boy in the market, Nokia has the hardiest hand phones under its brand-name. Thats the very reason why I go Nokia always.

In contrast, I'd know many people who had their Sony Ericsons / Samsungs / HTCs / iPhones down the garbage after its very first fall (not very rigid). In the other hand Nokia phones are generally rigid and can take a lot of shock, humid and water splatter than any other phone in the market.

So what about the Nokia 3120c?

It is as rigid as any phone could be, but...

There are problems about the camera focusing after a lot of falls. A friend of mine who uses the same phone said me that he had concerns about his image quality after about 40 drops.

I checked the phone my self. Its housing was a mess but the phone was in good working condition. The images didn't also seem to be bad, but I agree that it wasn't in a position to take snap-shots of fine prints (books, papers etc)...

What else you need? A clay brick wouldn't have lasted 40 drops ;)
