The introduction of a camera feature in a cellular phone was one of the main achievements in the technical development of the communications sector. People are indeed more attracted and inclined to buy camera phones than mobiles that lack this function. In fact such non-camera designs are considered obsolete and unfashionable. Since most models now have this feature incorporated, the quality difference between various brands and models comes from the technical performance of the camera and the rest of the phone characteristics. The most sensitive and special of designs will easily climb up to $1,000, and will surely be purchased by those eager to be up-to-date with the latest discoveries.

The development extent of camera phones has reached the level where pictures can be shared as instant media services with anyone you want. Some manufacturing companies focused on this instant pictures sharing while others worked in the direction of promoting viable peer-to-peer video devices. If in the past the usage of the camera phones required more power consumption, things are pretty different at present when the phone battery is very little affected by the use of the camera wireless infrastructure. So far, Japan has had the main role in the creation, design and promotion of camera phones.

In 2004, the largest seller of camera phones was Nokia, and the popularity of the mobiles was so high that in 2006 there were very few models that didn't have the built-in device. Other important manufacturers worth mentioning are Toshiba, Sanyo, Motorola, LG Electronics, Sony, Siemens, Samsung and Ericsson. The impact of camera phones on the group subconscious and personal social interaction level cannot be denied. On the contrary, a high emphasis is put on the possibility to capture precious moments as they happen. Then, the mobile features also allow for their immediate transmission, which makes the devices even more rewarding to use.

One of the controversies related to camera phones is the possibility to take surreptitious photos. Under the false pretense of browsing the phone menu or checking the email, one can easily take snapshots against a person's wishes. Lots of scandals broke out because of celebrity photos captured with camera phones that were afterwards published in tabloids. The illegal extent of using camera phones relates to voyeurism, the infringement of the copyright regulations or the invasion of privacy, which are all serious allegations, punishable by law.
