 Now it has become a standard in the consumer electronics industry to include a digital camera or digital photo capability in many products. The reason is to add value or a feature to the product so that it will be attractive to the buyers. A good example is the recent introduction of camera phones of reputed brands. So, one could take photos and share it with others online easily. However, it is important to note when it comes to digital photo printing there are many issues that one should know before hand to ensure high quality photo prints.

1.Pre-requisite for Digital Printing

It is well known fact that camera phones are ever becoming popular and are increasingly capable of taking decent photos. However, the images stored in camera phone are still not suitable for digital photo printing because of several shortcomings. Which we are going to explain later. If you intend to use your camera photo to take pictures which will be processed using digital photo printing, you have to take into account of the following:

2.The Image Quality Depends on Number of Pixels

The image quality of camera phones is very much less than a digital camera. Many of these phones have 1.3 megapixel resolutions. However, today you can buy camera phones with 3 megapixel. The 3 megapixel is equivalent to 3 million pixels per inch. The more pixels per inch means higher the resolution or the quality of the image. For quality digital printing its better to use camera with high resolution instead of camera phone which do not have the same capacity. This is because of the small size and limited capacity of camera phones. For example, high resolution digital image files can be quite large, as such storing many such images to phone will be limited to one or two due to its low memory capability.

3.High resolution needed for digital printing

So many manufacturers use a lower resolution in their phones which do not allow more images to be stored. Consequently, it does affect the results of digital photo printing. This is the main reason that camera phones cannot produce images that are of high quality or resolution for digital photo printing. For instance, a 4×6 print that was taken with a camera phone will be unclear and more or less unusable. If the same size print that was taken with a high resolution digital camera will certainly be much clearer and of higher quality.

In summing up, it can be expected that camera phones are much convenient to take instant or quick photography and sharing these online. They are definitely not suitable for digital photo printing. It is most prudent to use a digital camera with high mega pixel if you really want to take quality photos that will be digitally printed. In other words, if one is looking for quality photos, he has to go for either higher pixel point and shoot digicam or Digital SLR. It all depends on your preference and liking.
