There's not much in the way of camera equipment on the HTC Desire C, possibly to enable HTC to cut some costs. A lonely rear-facing 5Mp camera is all that's on offer.

It doesn't have a fancy sensor or even LED flash. The camera struggled to focus on close-up objects but we still got reasonable looking snaps out of the Desire C.

HTC's camera app is well thought out with plenty of effects and settings. It's responsive and there's no need to switch between photo and videos modes -- there's just simply a button for each. The Desire C can record basic video at a low 640 x 480 resolution.
