Yung Sony Erricson P800 ba may zoom? Up to what magnification?

AFAIK, it depends on the application used for the camera, which one could download for free or for a fee, and have it installed from PC to celphone via IrDA or Bluetooth, or directly by using the phone's WAP feature and downloading the application from the WAP site. But be forewarned: celphone camera's do not have a high resolution, said resolution rivalling only the first generation of digital cameras, i.e. those not even reaching 1-megapixel, and you'll be awfully disappointed with the results. You're much better off gettng a stand-alone digital camera, or a traditional camera with nice zoom and auto focus. The newer camera phones that Samsung, Motorola, Ericson, and Nokia are planning to churn out will have megapixel resolution, MMC expandability, and other nifty features - which phones will come either middle next year or late next year, unless the newest 60-series Nokia phone already as a 1-megapixel camera.





Not sure. Do your research.


Okeee, I'll do some research to furnish my inner hunger!



Haha the "research" word has picked up, huh.
IMO, the cellular phone shouldn't even bother delving into camera's, not that it isn't a notable value-added-addition? to your basic celphone. But a phone is a phone, a camera, well is a whole other thing/gadget.![]()
The camera on the P800, IMO sucks, one of the best quality photo's I've seen come from Samsung's line of camera-phones.
Could rant on about digital camera's and such, but wouldn't want to go astray, and initiate further RESEARCH quips.

Re:Cameras and celphones, I like it and I like it a lot. :-) Useful also. One can send images on the fly, say to someone's email address. It can also be used as proof in a traffic accident. In my case, when the car broke down, I took pix of it and sent the images to my dad and my uncle to give me advice on what to do. A digital camera can't do that - unless it has a built-in WiFi adaptor - but then, how many WiFi hotspots are here in the country? And if you're doing some undercover work, it's a great tool. Remember that Gringo photo of him visiting the rebel unit? I reckon it was taken with a celphone camera considering the image resolution and angle of the shot. Probably not a 7650 - that'd be too obvious. Might be a 3650, P800, or one of the Samsung phones. BTW, don't get misinterpret me. Camera phones have their uses, and "synergized" (gee I hate that word - unfortunately, for lack of a better term, I have to use it hehe) tools would be the future consumer product - until they become Star Trek's tricorder and will do practically anything except cook your food hehehehe!
Picture resolution on today's phones aren't fantastic. However, in the very near future - say next year at the earliest - get ready to see some megapixel cameras built-in the celphone.
