Samsung T819 Reviews

CNET reviews the Samsung T819 and writes, "The SGH-T819's 1.3-megapixel camera takes pictures in five resolutions, from 1,820x1,024 down to 240x180. Other camera features include five quality settings; brightness and white balance controls; a night mode; exposure meeting; 20 fun frames; a self-timer, and three color effects. There's also a digital zoom (though it's unusable at the highest resolution) and three shutter sounds, plus a silent option. The camcorder records clips in two resolutions (176x144 and 128x96) with sound and a number of editing options; clips meant for multimedia messages are capped at about 40 seconds, or you can shoot for as long as the available memory will permit. The SLM offers 30MB of shared internal memory. That's below average for a multimedia phone, so a microSD card is recommended. Photo quality was middling; images were relatively blurry, but the colors were bright."

PCMag reviews the Samsung T819 and writes, "The t819 has a 1.3-megapixel camera, which also records relatively smooth but dark 174-by-144 videos at 15 frames per second. Pictures and videos can be stored in the 32MB of onboard memory or on the microSD card. Our daylight photos came out very well exposed and well balanced, but they could have been sharper. Low-light photos tended to be underexposed, with deep shadows.
