What is better for a phone camera: Megapixel or HD?

camera megapixel explained image

Peter Winc

Okay basically I'm upgrading my phone, and the two new phones options are basically the same accept for the camera/video.
One, says "5 Megapixel (AF + LED Flash / VGA Front)", while the other says "HD 720p".
Could someone explain which is better, why, what is the difference, and your personal opinion when in use for a phone camera?
Ahh thank you. Yeah sadly the O2 page doesn't have any specs for the second one, just says "Yes" next to Camera. Thankyou!

Answer
Megapixels refer to the quality of a picture. The 5 megapixel has a vga camera which is generally 480p video quality.
HD 720p refers to the quality of a video.

I can't tell you the quality of the photos for the second camera because there are no specs provided for that.

What's a good digital camera that will take beautiful bright pictures that don't need editing ?

baby gee <

& Also, what's Megapixels ?
If a camera has 10 MP, what does that mean ?
I want to buy a camera that has good quality ?
And I want it to be able to take videos too with sound.

Answer
I own a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX series camera mines is one of the older 6 megapixel's camera's but really for what I use my camera its just perfect. Clear image quality and plenty of features.

MegaPixels is a bit involved to explain. The simple answer you need to know is that the higher the amount of pixels the better the image quality when printing large photos. Generally speaking 6 megapixels cameras provide more than sufficient picture quality. And this site provides a breakdown on how MegaPixels affect picture Quality http://cameras.about.com/cs/choosingacamera/a/megapixels.htm
