@saurabh_Naik You don’t need to buy a decent phone if you don’t have only to take photos for maps. You just follow these tips and try to take better photos.

Hi @saurabh_Naik congratulations on joining the long line of Local Guides trying to get a free camera :).

Seriously @SaifIS is right, Local Guides generally use their phone to capture images for Maps.

Learning the basics about how to use your camera app, learning about light (natural is best, put it behind you unless you gain skills) and above all else keep your lens clean will mean you can contribute sufficient quality images to Maps.

@saurabh_Naik Photos from an 8 MP camera shouldn’t be that bad. If it is blurry, then try to keep your hand steady. Curious, which phone are you using now?
