Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / UK Photography / May 2006Camera phone
Just had a new phone, Sony Ericsson Walkman phone. It has as 2 megapixel camera I must say the results are impressive. Damn hard to use in daylight though and composition is a bit of a hit and miss affair. There is also quite a bit of luck involved in getting a well focussed image. However,I particularly like the macro. Apart from cropping, resizing and a bit of sharpening, no other processing has been done. http://www.walkingoutdoors.co.uk/Geoff/phonepics/  SignatureGeoff Berrow (put thecat out to email) It's only Usenet, no one dies.

The only reason I'm contempating upgrading my phone is for a camera, and on the strength of the above I'd say it's just got even more tempting ;0). Frink SignatureDoctor J.

Yes, I think that's it. It has an orange case. For some time I have been looking for an easily portable digital camera that gives adequate results for newspaper publication. I need it to replace my Contax T3 which is becoming unreliable and, being a film camera, is sometimes slow to produce finished shots unless I am near a minilab. The W800i is pretty close to that ideal. The W810i is perhaps a little closer. Give me 4 or 5 MP in a similar package and I will be happy. > >> We probably have the same camera.

It almost sounds like the manufacturers are trying to produce 'semi-professional' camera phones for journalistic work ? I'd presumed they were all crap.

Camera phones or Journalists :¬) Newsprint does not need the highest res. About the same as the web or TV. >It almost sounds like the manufacturers are trying to produce >'semi-professional' camera phones for journalistic work ? > >I'd presumed they were all crap. I wouldn't describe them as semi-professional, not by a long way. But they are also a long way from being crap. And they have huge advantages over digital cameras when you want to send a shot to a picture desk.

I'm well happy with the pics, especially the macro facility. http://www.walkingoutdoors.co.uk/Geoff/test/keys.jpg Worst thing for me is the lack of a viewfinder.

But why only 640 x 480 when the camera has 2 MP? Are all the other shots in /test/ taken with the Sony? They are all good shots, but all are only 640 x 480. >Worst thing for me is the lack of a viewfinder. In bright light the >screen is practically unusable. Agreed. It's a limitation of many point and shoot cameras too. Message-ID: <092k629hbqtuu007s66to0c92lfvhecibs@4ax.com> from Tony Polson contained the following: >That's very good.

Erm, it's not. keys.jpg is 1632 x 1224. In fact they all are. Is your browser resizing them? Yes they were all taken with the Sony.

Of those images the keys shot, http://www.walkingoutdoors.co.uk/Geoff/test/DSC00116.JPG and http://www.walkingoutdoors.co.uk/Geoff/test/grass.jpg are from the phone. The rest are from my mate's Lumix and are just there to test the gallery software. http://www.walkingoutdoors.co.uk/Geoff/phonepicsoriginal/ also has some original camera images. I just need some good weather now to see what it will really do. SignatureGeoff Berrow (put thecat out to email) It's only Usenet, no one dies. My opinions, not the committee's, mine.

Some superb images there, Geoff. I'm seriously impressed with what these phones can do. I'm very happy with mine. The Walkman MP3 player and the FM radio are also excellent features. |
