Camera Phone Reviews

LG VX8300

Mobiledia reviews the LG VX8300 and finds the 1.3 megapixel camera on the phone to be good for capturing still shots, making it a convenient camera for catching those impromptu moments. From the review: "Capturing photos up to 1280 x 960 px in resolution, the VX8300 provides reasonable resolution for prints. Only about 60 photos can be stored at the highest quality, but users can choose lower resolutions such as 640 x 480 px, 320 x 240 px, 176 x 144 px, and 160 x 120 px to store up to 1,500 photos on the internal memory."

PCMag reviews the LG VX8300 and writes, "The VX8300's 1.3-megapixel camera is considerably better than that of the VX8100; photos are sharper, better focused, and less washed out. The camcorder mode takes the usual useless 176-by-144 videos at 6 frames per second. You can save your pictures in the VX8300's 28MB of shared memory or on a microSD memory card, which you have to buy separately."

MobileTechReview reviews the LG VX8300 and writes, "Though the camera resolution stayed at 1.3 megapixel resolution, the quality of photos is noticeably better than those taken by the VX8100. The focus works well for both landscape shots and close up shots. Compared to the VX8100, the VX8300’s photos are sharper, more saturated and have less noise. You’ll get less whiteout in full sun shots and clearer indoor shots (if lighting is good). The VX8300 camera and software are some of the better among 1.3 megapixel camera phones. The phone can save photos and videos directly to a MicroSD card, if present."

Sci-Tech Today has a review of the LG VX8300 and writes, "Priced at $99.99 after rebate, the LG VX8300 seems inexpensive enough at first blush. However, Verizon's basic tier of VCast video and audio clips commands a $15-per-month fee on top of monthly charges for calls and high-speed data access. Moreover, additional charges are incurred each time any VCast subscriber downloads a music track or premium video clip to the phone. Consumers with deep pockets who are ready to rock 'n' roll will find the VX8300 to be an excellent choice. On the other hand, standalone devices such as the video iPod can deliver similar, or even superior, multimedia capabilities without breaking anyone's bank account."

Infosync has a review of the LG VX8300 and writes about the phone's camera: "We got above-average snapshots from the VX8300's 1.3-megapixel camera - our images looked relatively sharp, with decent (if somewhat flat) shadow detail, although bright colors appeared a bit washed out. Of course, the phone's pictures pale compared to those of a similar resolution dedicated camera. The VX8300 doesn't come with a flash-memory card, so shutterbugs are well advised to pick one up."
