With or without camera?

A few people asked me which model I recommend – with or without camera. When I was buying my E50 I was struggling with the same problem. I just couldn’t decide. In the end I went for the model with camera. A few things to consider:
- price difference is small; comfort of having a camera all the time with you ready to shoot will cost you around €30/$40 extra
- you won’t notice you have a camera; it’s completely build in and the back of your phone is nicely sleek
- quality of the photos is relatively low (1.3 Megapixel camera); if you want high resolution photos then look for the Nseries models which are equipped with Carl Zeiss lenses
- despite low megapixels the camera has quite many options to tune up your end result; night mode, sequence mode, self-time and adjusting white balance and colour tone are all useful features
- basic digital zoom; you won’t get any great results with it but it’s a plus
- you can shoot a video up to 1 hour long depending on size of a memory card; again, no high-res videos but still better than no video
If you want to see what kind of photos you can make with E50, check out Flickr. My final verdict is: get the model with a camera if you can afford paying a few bucks more.

Keep in mind that there are sites where a camera is not alowed!
But I love my E….70!
Niek, that’s right! I totally forgot about working places where camera phone is not allowed. Thanks for pointing that out.
I bought mine without the camera. Photos with that lack of quality don’t really serve me. I bring my Canon PowerShot around with me most of the time, anyway.
