a camera phone is a mobile phone which is able to capture photographs and often record video using one or more built-in digital cameras. it can also send the resulting image over the telephone function. the first camera phone was sold in 2000 in japan, a sharp j-sh04 j-phone model, although some argue that the sch-v200 and kyocera vp-210 visual phone, both introduced months earlier in south korea and japan respectively, are the first cameras in phones but could not send the resulting image over the telephone function.
