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 :)
