The Galaxy Y and the Galaxy pocket both have a mediocre 2MP camera and does justs QVGA recording! (320*240)

The Asha 311 has a 3.15MP camera which seems to perform relatively better and does VGA recording @ 25fps (640*480) and that is miles ahead of the Galaxy Y and pocket. So in your budget range and requirements the Asha 311 seems to be the best fit.
