Its 2 megapixel camera features 5x digital zoom and enhanced flash and supports video recording to a microSD/SDHC memory card (sold separately). The memory card slot is easily accessible from the side of the smartphone and there are 8GB microSD/SDHC cards available on the market today, allowing plenty of storage for music, photos and videos.
