How many pixels do you want from the camera on your mobile phone? If you are hooked into the ‘more is better' way of thinking then perhaps you are barking up the wrong tree. A good digital camera relies on a lot more than just pixel count, and if you want to take high quality pics you have to evaluate a lot of criteria before buying.

Still, camera-phones are upping the ante in order to get your attention. The 8-megapixel LG Renoir offers a bit more than simple snapping. There is autofocus, a Xenon flash, macro mode and an ISO range stretching from 100 to 1600. The mechanical lens cover protects things and you can geotag images.

One neat touch is the ability to take a photo by pressing a button on the earphone cable. Sound like a useless idea? Not really. Imagine you are holding the camera above your head to take a photo: the extra button helps prevent camera-shake. Another goodie is the ability to tap any part of the screen to make that the focal point of a picture. When you remove your digit the picture is snapped.
