The LG VX-8700 has a high quality, high resolution 2 mega pixel camera on board, this camera takes great pictures and has a few features such as a self timer, red eye reducer and the ability to take video. Both images and video were very nice quality. I was able to transfer the images I took relatively easily with the Bluetooth onboard, as well as the USB connection available.
