There is no standard rating system for lenses, but the quality of a lens is quite important, as it is the most important factor (besides your ability to properly use your camera) in the quality of the photos you will take.
In fact, the resolution (clarity and sharpness) of your digital photos is usually limited by the camera's lens, and not by the resolution (number of megapixels) of the camera itself.
Unfortunately, the only way to find out for yourself how good a lens is is by shooting photos and seeing how they turn out. Since this isn't usually an option, you might want to visit a camera shop and talk with the staff (but watch out for pushy salesmen). Staff at large appliance stores are not useful sources of information. On-line forums might be useful, or even customer review on places like Amazon.
If you have a friend that owns the camera you are interested in, ask to see some of their photos, and see what the quality is.
If you can find a review of the camera you are interested in on CNET or COnsumer reports, this would be a good help, too.
Buying cameras made by companies known for having good optics (i.e. those who produce higher end cameras, like Leica, Canon or Nikon) would likely ensure a better quality lens.
Buying the cheapest camera you can find would pretty much guarantee you cheap optics.
I would go with the 10 mp Samsug, because it's better quality. However I have a camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and it's very good. Bottom line they're both great quality but I would go with the second one.
Basically most video cameras are fixed lens so you cannot put a camera lens in it unless it is specially built.
Yes I can --> can you?
In a camera with a removable lens system, the camera body is all of the camera except the lens mechanism. Many more-sophisticated cameras employ a system of removable/ exchangeable lenses. The "camera body" and the "lens" are often sold separately. What is called simply the "lens," though, is really a lens tube with multiple lenses and multiple adjustment mechanisms. It will have a standard connection point that mates to the lens mount on the camera body.
Yes. Nikon cameras have the distinct advantage over other cameras because they are backwards compatible with any Nikon lens. In short, any Nikon camera can mount any Nikon lens. The problem is how much of the lens capabilities are retained when used on a different camera. Depending on the lens' mounting system and the Nikon camera, the lens may or may not be able to autofocus or meter. Also, if you use an FX lens (from a film or D3/D700 camera) on a DX (digital DSLR) camera, the focal lengths will be different than on the film camera. More specifically, it will be 1.5 times the focal length of the film camera. (more zoomed in)
A good rated camera lens cleaner is the LensPen DK-1. It is a cleaning stylus that removes dirt and grime from a camera lens but won't scratch the lens up.

Image Quality
The presence of a haze lens can reduce the sharpness and clarity of images captured by a camera, resulting in a decrease in image quality.
The combination lens in a camera improves the quality of photographs by allowing for better focus, sharper details, and enhanced clarity in the captured images.
To fix a hazy camera lens and improve photo quality, gently clean the lens with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or rough materials that could scratch the lens. Regularly cleaning the lens can help maintain clear image quality.
To effectively remove haze from your camera lens and improve the quality of your photographs, you can use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens surface. Additionally, using a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for camera lenses can help remove stubborn haze. Be sure to clean the lens regularly to maintain optimal image quality.
The front lens of a camera is the outermost lens element that faces the subject being photographed. It is the first lens that light encounters as it enters the camera, and plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the camera sensor to create an image. The quality and design of the front lens can significantly impact the clarity, sharpness, and overall image quality of photographs.
A 58mm lens hood is used with a Canon camera to reduce lens flare and improve image quality by blocking stray light from entering the lens.
Cannon is sighted as being one of the best manufacturers of camera's and camera related items such as lenses. Nikon also makes a high quality lens system.
Kodak is known for everything to do with cameras. They make high quality camera equipment as well. There are other, better brands, but you cannot go wrong with a Kodak lens.
Using a disposable camera lens on a DSLR camera is not recommended as they are not designed to be interchangeable. The lens mount and compatibility between the two types of cameras are different, so attempting to use a disposable camera lens on a DSLR camera may damage both the lens and the camera. It is best to use lenses specifically designed for your DSLR camera to ensure optimal performance and image quality.
