Which is the best available camera phone within 10k.

PS: The foremost criterion is the camera.

If you can stretch your budget to 11.2K then consider buying Nokia 6630,which has very good camera and has fastest processor in S60 phones.

You will rue your decision, irrespective of the phone you opt for!
You CANNOT get half a decent camera(phone) for 10K. Be realistic, man!
You have to shell out 16K and buy the K750i. It's your decision; I just popped my two cents in! :)

You said it bro!!! By the way do u know that nokia 6630 is THE most powerful imaging phone from nokia yet. If u want good quality pics from ur mobile(nokia) go for 6630. Its amazing.

As for w550i, the sound quality is EXCELLENT but the camera isn't too good compared to 6630 if u ask me since i use both the phones. still if ur a camera freak, go for 6630.

Around 10,000? Mm.. sounds a bid too conservative for a good camera phone! Well, I'd say you for the Moto L7. You'd not regret! It has got a 1.2 mp camera!

n6630 is the 1 for u if u can stretch ur pocket a bit. It has XCELLENT camera but no flash,decent sound quality and the fastest processor in nokia phones. Imagine clicking 6 pics in 2 seconds! Cool,right? This is thru xperience,guys. I own a n6630.

Yes,Nokia 6630 is the best phone for u.It has a good camera but don't expect it to perform like a camcorder or digital camera.The video capture is bad.U cannot video something moving fast.It gets blurred.Still image is decent.Shutter speed is slow.so if u click a picture at say moment 01 second the picture will be taken at the moment 02-03 sec.Sound quality is decent.Head phones r good.but what sets it apart from other s60 phones is the power packed processor.It supports most games and applications.It also has 3G and EDGE.don't buy it from nokia authorized shop .They will charge u more and u can't bargain for the price.

Wrong Bro!!!
N80 is the most powerful imaging phone frm nokia till date....

@subhranath
Try moto L7, or Samsung X660.. both will come in ur budget.. and are fairly good devices.. bt i wont say that their camera is very good.
I would recommend u to add a lil more money and get uself N6630...

check DIGIT magazine June. you can find your phone.
btw you can also try Samsung X700, SE k608i, LG M4410(we all know about LG battery) it has all the features you want if you can't go for more than 10k.
For more than 10k you already get a lot of suggetion.
NOW IT'S YOUR CHOICE........

I dont know how many of you would agree with me but I think below 10k the SE K700i is the best bet.It has got some amazing features for the camera.The superb frames and effects takes the camera altogether to a different level.Though it has VGA camera ,its resolution can be changed to 1280 x 960 pixels making it around 1.2 mp camera.
I dont say it has the best camera but as the guy who started this thread wants a great phone with camera i think K700i is not a bad choice.I think its even cheaper may be around 8k.The remaining money can be utilized to buy Ubs cable so that the 41 MB memory wont be any issue.
