GSMArena reviews Nokia 3120 Classic and writes “Speaking of multimedia capabilities, the camera is one of the key things to mention. Nokia 3120 classic is armed with a 2 megapixel camera with image resolution of up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. Typical Series 40, the camera settings are rather limited but - after all - reasonable given the low-end shooter. The available settings include white balance, three quality levels going form basic to high, and various effects. Sequence shots and shooting in both portrait and landscape mode are also among the available options.

The camera itself is a downright middling 2 megapixel unit. Its fixed focus is sure to doom any attempts at macro photography but the LED flash gives some hope of producing a usable picture in the dark now and then. The flash is still rather weak, usable with close range objects only.

The lack of a dedicated camera button is the real downer when it comes to operating the camera. Using the confirm button of the D-pad, especially when shooting in landscape mode, is definitely not our preferred handling.

Image quality is about average; in favorable weather decent images can be produced, sharp enough, with fairly good color rendering. Noise levels still remain high in areas with no detail like the sky for example. Given the absence of autofocus, you’d rather not take a picture of a closely situated object or text, as they will surely be blurred. Text is only legible if captured from a distance.

Finally, we feel a warning is due about camera speed. This one is surely among the slowest we have tried recently. It will take ages to save a picture at the highest (read: 2MP) resolution setting and that stretches the shot-to-shot time beyond bearable.

As far as video recording is concerned, Nokia 3120 classic manages CIF resolution. This is a decent achievement, albeit nothing impressive. Still on some occasions the video clips produced by the classic might turn out usable. The videos are recorded in 3GP format and their length is only limited by the memory available.”
