Motorola Motozine ZN5 Reviews

InformationWeek reviews the Motorola Motozine ZN5 and writes, "Because Kodak knows a few things about making cameras, it has made sure that the ZN5's camera is optimized for low-light picture taking. That means it has built-in algorithms to make sure pictures you take in dark rooms still turn out good. Part of this is the inclusion of a full flash for the phone. No dinky, paltry LED flash here. We're talking a real flash, for a real camera. The result? Images that are balanced."

ComputerWorld reviews the Motorola Motozine ZN5 and writes, "As a camera, I loved the ZN5. I liked the mechanics of it: sliding down the cover to expose both the lens and built-in flash, watching the camera functions come on while deactivating the phone capabilities (something Motorola likes to call ModeShift Technology). Turning the phone on its side moves the dedicated shutter button into position at the top right. The switch that controls the volume in handset mode can then be used for the digital zoom, which, although it displays with poor resolution in the phone's window, actually offered excellent results."

MobileBurn does a hands on review of the Motorola Motozine ZN5 and writes, "The thing that most impressed us, though, were the very large prints that Motorola had on hand. We took a very close look at the 16" x 20" photos and found that the image quality coming out of the ZN5's camera is really top notch. Some over sharpening was evident when viewing the prints, but there was little to no chromatic distortion or purple fringing in high contrast scenes or else anything unpleasant. The ZN5 appears to be a "real" camera, plain and simple. True it lacks a zoom, but this is a camera that can produce keepers when it comes to snapshots."
