Sony Ericsson K800i

The Sony Ericsson K800i is the fist phone we tested and it’s as much digital camera as mobile phone. The 3.2 Mega Pixel Cyber-shot camera with video and image stabiliser function takes professional quality photos without compromising on handset size or style. An interesting addition is the BestPic feature which takes a series of images before and after the moment the shutter is pressed to allow you to choose the best possible image.

The auto focus is our favourite feature on this phone. Click the button to take a picture and watch the screen as the lens adjusts to capture the perfect picture. Photos taken indoors and at night are also high quality thanks to the red eye reduction and a powerful automatic flash.

• Best for: Value, this phone is free on most contracts.

LG KG920

Next up in our camera phone tests goes to the LG Leo KG920 with its class leading 5 mega pixel digital camera. A powerful strobe flash to reduce red eye, auto focus lens and video recorder are crammed into a handset just 18mm wide.

The LG has a twist screen to make self portraits easy with the image shown onto the high resolution screen.

• Best for: its 5 MP camera and twist screen.

Nokia N93

The Nokia N93 may be the most advanced camera phone on the market. The 3.2 mega pixel camera uses a Carl Zeiss lens and will happily take DVD quality movies. Quality comes at a price and its no surprise that the N93 is the most expensive out of the high end camera phones we tested.

A twist open design really makes the phone look like a proper video camera and allows the N93 to retain its sleek size. An impressive 3x optical zoom and expandable 50Mb internal memory is also included

• Best for: video capture.

Nokia N73

Slightly less of a video camera and more of a mobile phone the Nokia N73 is still a perfectly good digital camera replacement. The 3.2 Mega pixel Carl Zeiss optics and huge 2.4 inch display make taking great quality photos remarkably simple. Although the point and shoot simplicity doesn’t have quite the results of the Sony Ericsson the advanced auto focus is still very effective.

• Best for: people who want a camera phone that still looks like a phone.

Samsung D900

The slimmest phone on test at only 13mm the sliding Samsung D900 weighs in at a featherweight 100g. Samsung have taken time to pack lots of features into the D900 and the 3.13 mega pixel camera take photos that put a lot of digital cameras to shame.

For those of you who are not satisfied with viewing your video clips and snaps on the high quality colour screen the D900 includes a TV out lead to play slideshows directly onto your TV.

• Best for: size, this was the slimmest phone on test.
