Camera

 
InfoCamera Type[MegaPixels] 2 Megapixel
Most camera types in mobile phones are measured in megapixels. 1 megapixel means 1 million pixels and 2 megapixels is equal to 2 million pixels. A VGA camera is equal to 0.3 megapixels. 1 megapixel or more is much larger than a phone's display so won't make a huge difference if pictures are only being used for phone applications such as MMS. However if you download images to a PC, or want to print them, then the higher the megapixel the better quality the picture.
InfoZoom Yes
Digital Zoom - this takes a small area of the image and digitally enlarges it - in effect stretching the pixels so the image is not as sharp as optical zoom. Optical Zoom - this uses the lens to magnify the image as opposed to doing it digitally. It allows you to maintain the image quality and resolution when you zoom into your subject. The higher the oOptical zoom the better.
