Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

Review of VTech Kidizoom Camera Pink

The ultimate camera phone!

Advantages: Great cam, good looking, stylish
Disadvantages: dirty screen, crap battery!

...the reception like on this phone? I can only tell you what it's like in areas i have been to with this phone which is East London where I live, Central London the Southend Area (Like Leigh on sea, the south east basically) and I've also been up to Kent with it and I did have a good phone reception there. It rarely goes down though I will point out sometimes on this phone when you send a text message it says "sending failed" even if you have a full reception sometimes! If you usually leave it for five minutes it's OK but if you want to send an urgent text it can be quite annoying! :/ CYBERSHOT CAMERA Obviously the main focus on the k800i is the cyber shot camera. It's a 3.2 mega pixel camera and it is one hell of a camera. The picture is crystal clear and it has some brill features. The best one I find is the fact that it takes still pictures...

Review of Sony Ericsson K800i Cyber-shot

Better as a camera than as a phone

Advantages: Excellent camera, large screen. Lots of features for the money.
Disadvantages: Below average call quality, short battery life.

...Firstly I'm not a big phone user, nor am I a keen photographer, but I needed a new pay as you go phone and this is what I bought quite simply because I fancied trying a touch screen phone for a change. On taking the phone out of the box the phone felt solid although taking the cover off to insert the SIM/battery is much like opening a tin of sweets but to be fair it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the phone. The screen is bright and the menus are well designed and slick. The phone gives feedback to the user by using an adjustable vibration which works really well. Although the interface is well designed I've had the phone hang on me on at least two occasions, one of which required removal of the battery to recover (running latest firmware). As a camera it performs well taking impressively clear photos at 5MP and the video...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

The best iPod / Phone!

Advantages: unbelivably sexy and beautiful, wonderful internet and video / music
Disadvantages: needs a couple of firmware updates to become the perfect phone

.... However, turn the iphone on it's side, and it rotates the image! Camera: The camera is very simple and has only two buttons. One to take a photo and the other to take you to where you can view your photos that you've taken (effectively the Photo application). The iPhone has a 2 mega pixel camera, but, it has to be said, in these days, that's a bit feeble and the image quality isn't fantastic. It's not bad, and I've included a photo below taken from a recent flight. YouTube: This application is only really usable over wifi else you'd be waiting forever for videos to download. You have five options for youtube when the application opens: Featured, Most Viewed, Bookmarks, Search and More. Firstly, as with the Apple TV, don't expect all youtube videos to be available. Secondly, the bookmarks are only local bookmarked videos...

Review of Apple iPhone

Nice Stylish phone, The camera is where it's at!

Advantages: 5 Megapixel camera, Video Camera, Looks great, It has Personality
Disadvantages: A bit out-dated already!?

.... Also for the life of me I can't get the e-mail to work but to be honest that could just be my fault. I also think the Battery life is not top notch, It'll last me about a day if I'm using it lots. It must be noted that in the first few weeks the phones battery was very poor and it did improve the more I used it for some reason. It also has to be noted that the phone does Freeze from time to time when I'm rushing to take a picture. I just take the battery out and re-insert it and that fixes it. But less of this doom and goom, There are plenty of reasons why I won't give up on my Viewty. The Camera is brilliant. 5 Megapixels is more than enough if you're just using it to put pictures on the net, view on your computer and print. I can't think of how I would use more than that. The setting on the camera is brilliant, you can zoom, you...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

Camera love

Advantages: Cool
Disadvantages: Expensive

...most people do not use their camera's no their phone for sexual use, or for taking pictures of people they like in compromising situations but there always is that small percentage, people you should look out for. Camera phones make it too easy for people to get quick pictures of people they fancy, whether it is bending over or anything else. it creeps me out to think of what they have been used for. A personal example of the danger of them is my PE class in school last year. As you know, pE is compulsery in all schools and once a week all the boys done it. it was no diferent for my class, every week we either did gaelic, soccer or rugby and every week we'd end up boggen, except for this one guy, a very camp fella in our year who prefered watchen us do PE than do it himself. Back in the changing rooms we'd all be getting ready...

Review of Camera Phones: New peeping Toms?

iPhone I like

Advantages: Modern technology, amount of software and number of devices.
Disadvantages: No protective case.

...iPhone finally arrived on the UK market on the 9th November although not with the same amount of media attention it received in the U.S. it was still popularly accepted by the UK market. I bought mine on the 19th November for £269. This seems expensive but you get a digital camera, ipod and phone all rolled in to one with iphone + internet browsing and e-mail capability, also included are elements of a personal organiser (diary and notepad). The main feature of the phone is the touch screen technology which operates everything. Without boring you with technical detail I will tell you what I got from iphone. There are 17 screens (buttons you can push on the face of the camera.) The 4 on the bottom horizontal strip are the phone, e-mail, internet browsing and i-pod. There 13 buttons on top from left to right in 3 rows of 4 +1 are...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone; Modern day Beauty and the Beast

Advantages: Touch screen, games, web browser, utilites, music, pictures
Disadvantages: Price, can not copy and paste, battery life, camera

...In a nutshell: IT?S A TOUCH SCREEN. No other phone have I ever come across since I laid my hands on has so much capabilities as this beautiful beast. It?s a phone, it?s a music player, it?s a camera, it?s a web browser, it?s everything all mashed together into one beautiful device. However its not cheap and it has many limitations so unfortunately its like my last girlfriend; a imperfect beauty. When it comes to the iPhone, I never can make the decision over whether I hate it or love it. It?s a beautiful little device with operates on Apple?s OS X operating system. Its all touchscreen so instead of using buttons the phone has icons that appear on the very touch-sensitive screen, and this screen is big, actually its bigger than big its HUGE. Apple claimed that the iPhone was five years ahead of the competition and when you have a play...

Review of Apple iPhone

Review -The Apple iPhone 3GS - An iPhone Upgrade?

Advantages: Upgraded sofware and Hardware, better camera
Disadvantages: Appearance hasn't changed, Expensive

... Apple iPhone 3GS - An iPhone Upgrade Now I?ve heard people saying ?what is the point of Apple releasing an new iPhone when it looks exactly like the old one!? and to be honest they may have a point... If it ain?t broke, don?t fix it - right? Well no actually, while there may be very few external changes, inside it?s a different story. The 3GS has a larger CPU, more storage space, new internal compass and Apple have improved the optics for the new iPhone?s camera. These modifications coincide neatly with a leap forward in the iPhone?s system software, the release of the iPhone OS 3.0 ? which will allow features including copy and paste, tethering, landscape keyboard options for more applications and a version of Spotlight, designed specifically for the iPhone. Appearance As I have already mentioned, in terms...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G S (3GS)

iPhone

Advantages: Touchscreen, easy to use
Disadvantages: Slightly confusing menus

...phone (from what I have seen) even compares, the zoom in zoom out function is so cool, the way you can type is flawless... I could go on but basically the touchscreen is beautifully made and one the main aspects of the iPhone I feel. The only bad point I have been able to think of with this Apple iPhone is the camera doesn't have a video function, which is slightly confusing as the camera quality is really good But, for some reason I don't miss video camera, possibly because I never used it on my old phone... But I am sure there are users out there that are really annoyed at the aspect of this. Overall I well recommend the Apple iPhone, however at the time of writing this you are probably better of going for the new 3G one, unless you are lucky like me and get given one!...
