Hi Phil,
indeed, the camera price drops are astonishing…think Olympus E520 for example.

But I have yet to see a 10$ camera…

All the best

Believe it or not digital cameras can come up as cheap as $10. Then with a viewer under $50 and a reasonable one for $100.

Unfortunately most digital cameras either lose their charge or the batteries die, so a pda or telephone camera is one solution to catch a rare moment. Sony’s psp has a add on camera from Japan but add on devices to smart telephones with great resolution is worst than a IPhone.

Hi Folks,
thank you so much for talking back!

@Allen: I fully agree..even though the Centro IMHO only lacks a higher-sensitivity mode as found on the Treo 680…

@Gekko: I used the objects close at hand. Sorry if you dislike them – but I think that I got the point along well.

All the best

Where are the photos of the Viennese ladies of the night??? I don’t want to see trains and planes, I want to see HOOKERS!!! Please do a better article next time for your friends in America.

Thank you.

Indeed one of the pains of having increased resolution is that the pixel size is smaller. This means that low light performance is reduced and pixels can easily saturate and ‘bleed’ into their neighbours.

As you say Tam, it is about choosing an appropriate resolution for the device. With a Centro or 680 most people aren’t going to be using it to take great photos for the family album. Instead they want to take quick photos to share, in this case the camera on the 680 seems much better for this.
