The HTC One X Android phone boasts 8MP (for a super-sharp resolution) and an f2.0 aperture (which allows it to perform beautifully in low light). You can also shoot 1080p video and - here's the kicker - capture photos while you film, or take stills from the video after you've filmed it. The phone's also great for playback; the 4.7-inch Super LCD screen, with its HD 720p resolution, is among the best in the biz. It's available for $169.99 with a three-year plan (or $574.99 with no plan) at Rogers. (Supplied)

With video functions making it into more and more cameras and cell phones, video-camera makers have had to build things better and slimmer to keep up.
