I want a camera that can make phone calls. Hehehe……..
Back at the end of 2006 I was making a new phone purchase. I was choosing between Nokia’s N73 and SonyEricsson’s K800i. I ended up with getting the N73… and hating it. I sold it half a year later.
Obviously it works fine as a phone. But as a camera, it was horrible. Never mind that it used the famous Zeiss lense. It simply didn’t get the job done. First of all, being an urban young professional, I take a lot of pictures indoor. N73’s pictures quality just isn’t very good indoor. When it’s a little dark, it becomes simply bad. It’s not much better with the built-in flash light…
Then there’s the worst problem — a problem other camera phones have, too (just to a lesser degree). When you flip open N73’s camera, it’s probably 20 seconds later before you can take the picture. You know what, the moment’s gone by then or the people you’re taking the picture of are annoyed already. This is just not acceptable!!! Not acceptable!
So there, I don’t want a phone that takes pictures. I want a camera that works as a phone. I’ve never had a SonyEricsson phone before. I should really give it a shot. In fact, I’m kinda waiting for the new C905, due out in Q4 this year. See picture below:
All I really want is to flip open my camera phone and then take the picture right away. Is that really that much to ask? It shouldn’t be….
