Camera Phone Reviews

PocketPCThoughts reviews the E-TEN M600 and writes about the device's camera: "E-TEN's Camera application is probably one of the better ones I've seen bundled with any Pocket PC. It supports the capturing of photos and the recording of videos. In the camera mode, you can modify the capture settings (normal, timer, and portrait), orientation (portrait or landscape), flash, date, saving path (\My Documents or \SDMMC), wizard mode, special effects (normal, negative, greyness, retrospective, and mirror), frames, format settings (BMP or JPG), dimensions (1280 x 960, 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 176 x 144), white balance (auto, incandescence, fluorescence, sunshine, shadow, cloudy, and night), self-timer (between three, five, seven, and ten seconds), and continuous shutter."

MobileTechReview reviews the E-TEN M600 and says, about the phone's camera, "Image quality is average by camera phone standards. it's better than the Motorola MPx220 certainly but not nearly as good as the Nokia 6682 or LG VX9800. The camera doesn't do well in low light, with plenty of noise in shots, though the flash does help when shooting subjects that are in close range. The flash can be manually disabled. The E-TEN is slow saving files to an SD card (we used a very fast SD cards as our save destination) at highest resolution , and there is a bit of shutter lag. There is no shutter lag when saving photos to RAM, and files are saved faster. Video quality is quite good by mobile standards and the accompanying audio is decent."
