Camera Phone Reviews

MobileTechReview reviews the Samsung t509 and talks about the phone's camera: "The t509's camera is also a standout among cell phones. Although it is only VGA resolution (640 x 480), the camera features a variety of effects and modes rarely found on cell phone or PDA cameras, such as sepia tone, black-and-white, and sketch, which make it possible to create a variety of unique photograph styles. I also found the sharpness of the camera's focus to be above average. Rounding out the camera system is a fairly standard 4x digital zoom. ... The camera stores images and movies as JPEGs and 3gp files, respectively, within its 9 MB of user-accessible memory. The bad news is that the phone's connector is a proprietary Samsung design, and that it also doesn't accept any expansion cards. The good news, however, is that the phone features a unified file manager in addition to specific managers for individual file types, a feature that was sorely lacking on some of the other phones I have reviewed."
