Modern mobile phones are no substitute for digi cameras

HAMBURG -- Even though modern mobile phones can take good photos, they are no match for a good digital camera, according to a test by Germany’s Computer Bild magazine.

The test compared six mobile phone cameras ranging in price from 170 to 500 euros (US$229 to 675) and Sony’s DSC-H3 camera, which costs just under 280 euros.

The best camera scored a good grade of 2.3. Nonetheless, the best mobile phone, the Nokia 6220 Classic, scored a satisfactory grade of 3.4.

The other phones earned scored sufficient grades ranging from 3.54 to 4.28.

Compared to the camera, the greatest weaknesses of the mobile phones were in flash photography and comfort of use.
