Camera Phone Reviews

CNET reviews the Sony Ericsson S500i and writes, "The S500i comes with a good 2-megapixel camera. Camera options include three sizes (2-megapixel, 1-megapixel, or standard VGA), two picture quality settings, white balance adjustments, color effects, four different shooting modes (Normal, Panorama, Frames, Burst), a night mode, a self-timer, plus the choice of four shutter sounds (no silent option). There's also a built-in camcorder, which records clips with sound and has about the same settings as the still camera. Video clips are capped at 30 seconds if they're meant for multimedia messages, or as long as the available memory allows. Photo quality was very good, with sharp edges and clear colors. We did wish we had a flash for a brighter image, though. Video quality did not fare as well, though it was much less pixilated than comparable camera phones. The phone also includes a built-in video player."
