<h1>12MP vs HD Video - which makes for the better camera phone?</h1>Author: <a title="Matt Sharp" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/matt-sharp/41815.htm">Matt Sharp</a> Camera phones have been getting steadily more and more powerful, as time has moved on. But which is the best one currently on the market? Let's find out! Sony Ericsson Satio There's no doubting the sheer power of the Sony Ericsson Satio. First and foremost on its list of awesome features is its key selling point: the Sony Ericsson Satio is the first phone announced for the UK to have a 12 megapixel camera. It also features technology culled from the Cyber-Shot range of phones, so, quite simply, the Sony Ericsson Satio is the single best camera phone in existence. However, it also has true smartphone credentials, as it features the new Symbian S60 Touch OS, giving it a sleek interface, bags of power, and the option to add on loads of third party software. It is, frankly, an astounding phone! Samsung Pixon 12 Here we have another touchscreen mobile phone, the Samsung Pixon 12, and, to be brutally honest... because it's not a smartphone, it doesn't come off as well as the Sony Ericsson Satio. However, it has a huge touchscreen, a brilliant 8 megapixel camera, multimedia player, HSDPA, and GPS. Oh, and since this is one of the biggest buying factors nowadays, the Samsung Pixon 12 is ALSO one of the best looking mobile phones on the market.
