Flashermac Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Got asked this the other day. Would you recommend any mobile phone that takes pics - and would you recommend buying a used one? Used phones are cheap enough, but how good are they? Anybody got one they want to sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglesoup Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I havent one to sell, but if you are looking I would recommend the Sony ericcson Cybershot 3.2MP. I use it and its really great. yes I think nokia have a 5MP one now but its expensive and chunky... The Cybershot I use has loads of different settings. Easy to take a decent picture.

Mekong Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Anybody got one they want to sell? Chance would be a fine thing, whenever I upgrade my phone the whole of the wifes family does, I pass my old one on to the wife, she hands the previous model to her sister who in turn hands her replaced handset to a sister in law and so on. I hardly ever use the camera / vdo on mine, for photos I have a compact 10MB Canon IXUS, which is smaller than most phones and easy to carry.

The_Munchmaster Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 My Nokia N80 has a 3 MP camera but I almost never use it. Like you I have a Canon IXUS so no need to take inferior pictures with a phone camera. Does anyone do a decent phone that doesn't have a camera?

junglesoup Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Looked at that Canon on Amazon. Same as my bros. Looks nice. However, I think the benefit of having a good camera phone is that it is handy... Lets face it. Most people always take their phone out. I like to take pics when I m out by surprise, not pre planned. That means having to carry a seperate camera and a phone...and maybe add an ipod to that. With the type of clothing wore in LOS(no coats) that becomes awkward. Especially if like me I head on the bars late afternoon. I dont want to be carrying all that stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjon045 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 A 3 megapixel camera should be capable of taking good quality shots, I have an old 3 megapixel Olympus and a canon IXUS 7.2 megapixel and honestly sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between the photos both produce. I imagine the lens on the mobile phone cameras is the main culprit if the photos they are taking are no good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooNoi Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I've got a Nokia 73 with a 3MP camera and the shots it takes are really sharp - good colours and contrast. Makes excellent video clips too. Good for snapping things of interest day-to-day. I've made a few prints out of shots I've taken with it and they've turned out ok. But if I was going on holiday or somewhere where I wanted a really good photographic record I'd still use a real camera. You can pick one a second-hand Nokia N73 at MBK easily enough. Maybe 12 - 13K Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 You should use a bum bag or "fanny pack" as Americans call them, which you can rest under your beer gut and above your bermudas. Nice ensemble with a vest and brogues. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eee Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hey. Flash. I've got a Sony Ericsson W800 walkman,digi cam phone. Takes great pics..2 megapixel. I think the going rate is around 10 thousand bht used.You can check the cell phone magazine for that. They have a list for used phone. Or you can simply go to Pan Tip for the going rate. I won't be in BKK till october though. eee chok dii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexi Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 My current mobile is a Samsung D600 ,the camera is 2 MP .I printed out loads of pics recently and there pretty good - he results are almost as good as I got from my old Canon SLR ( pre-digital ) but not as sharp.The colours are really spot-on ,better than ones I used to send off to be printed ( film ),although this varies according to the printer it`s coupled with.
