Your Phone Killed The Flip

by

Aahh the Flip HD video camera – how you were both ahead of your time and yet outdated. Well, Cisco made it official today and The Flip is no longer (even though Cisco only bought the brand two years ago). Anyway, I think this was a foregone prediction. The Flip is was a great little … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: Nikon COOLPIX S570 Camera

by

Geeks has got many refurbished cameras for sale, and they’ve sent me a fairly decent one over for review, the Nikon Coolpix S570.  It’s from Nikon so from the start you pretty much know it’s going to be a quality product, they’re a very well known company. The camera is a pocket camera, very small but yet it’s full of features that most anyone will appreciate.

LG Ally Camera

by

Ok, so today we’ll take a look at another camera, this one is on the Verizon Wireless LG Ally. it’s an Android 2.1 phone with a 3.2MP camera with autofocus and flash. The LG Ally features a nice 3.2” touch screen and a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard with number line to make typing that much easier. It’s not  a bad phone overall, I gave it a 9 out of 10 total score. I did run into some issues with it slowing down for odd reasons, and the the built in speaker isn’t that great along with the fact that it’s rather large and kinda clunky phone really. On the bright side though it has a decent battery life, the keyboard is excellent and of course call quality it very good as well. I did play some games on it, and they ran and looked just beautiful on this phone, even like 3d racing games with everything just moving fast, the phone handled them well. Anyway we’re here to take a brief look at the camera itself so let’s just jump into it..

Pantech Breeze II Camera

by

Ok, so let’s take a look at the 1.3mp camera of the Pantech BreEZe II. The phone itself isn’t bad, it’s for AT&T and it’s one of you basic type phones and it’s a flip phone. I get a lot of phones and I thought making a small series of these types of things, I mean taking a look at just the cameras on the phones.. So here we go.. These aren’t meant to be huge in-depth articles, but just more of a quick look at the interface and some sample pictures.

Here’s some info about the phone:

A classic just gets better with age. Pantechs breEZe II is faster and gives users flexibility to browse the Web or manage email in addition to making calls and sending messages, thanks to AT&T’s high-speed 3G network. The front cover has three lighted indicators to quickly let you know if you have a new text, voice mail, have missed a call, or are running low on battery. As with the original breEZe, ease of use is key. Unique quick call keys make it EZ to access numbers you use most. The bright display, streamlined menus, and large keys are EZ to read. Use the Say a Command feature to make calls, address text messages, and look up contacts without scrolling through menus.

HTC Incredible Camera – A Closer Look

by

Sadly my time with the HTC Incredible was cut short because I had to return it back to Verizon, it happens, being a reviewer you many times run across ‘loaner’ products, oh well, maybe I’ll switch to Verizon to get one! The camera on the HTC Incredible is probably the best cell phone camera on the market today, I’m sure it can even rival that of many lower to mid priced point and shoot cameras out there. Doug asked me to take a quick look at the camera and report on it before I had to return it so that’s what I’m doing today. I’ve got pictures of the interface and many picture samples for you to view to check out the quality. So here ya go Doug, enjoy!

How Bright Is a Dual LED Flash?

by

image For those of you who haven’t played around with the HD2 the flash is pretty crazy on it. There are two LED lights on the back next to the lens. There’s a flashlight app on the phone that lets you turn on the LEDs and use them as a flashlight and it toggles from low, medium and high. Even in the daytime, with bright light, if you point the flash on high at someone it’s obnoxiously bright. I’ve used the camera in the dark a number of times and was very impressed by it. So I decided to put it the test for you guys. Nighttime with all lights off and no substantial ambient light (just what makes it through the windows and into a kitchen). A regular camera (DSLR, pocket camera, etc) will not detect any light and the image is just black. So, how does the HD2 fare in this setting? Take a look for yourself.

Mobility Digest Review: Kodak EasyShare C713 7MP 3x Optical/5x Digital Zoom HD Camera Reviewed

by

Happy Thursday to you all, the weekend is in sight!

I’m back with another review of a product from our friends at Geeks.com. It’s one of many Kodak digital cameras on the market today, specifically it’s the EasyShare C713 7MP camera. The name Kodak is one that’s been around for a long time when it comes to camera, so one would think they know what they’re doing when it comes to photography right? This camera is your sort of basic point and shoot, it’s small and portable so you can take it with you easily. The pictures taken with it aren’t too bad for what it is. The 3x optical zoom works well but the digital zoom is lacking a bit though that’s normal for most any level of digital zooming. The C713 I got is a refurbished product, but it looks brand new, not a mark on it at all. So read on to learn a bit more about this camera…
