Samsung SGH-P300 Cameraphone

Samsung SGH-P300: "Samsung SGH-P300The Samsung SGH-P300 is the size of a credit card - in other words, tiny - yet, incredibly enough, packs a 1.3 megapixel camera.

Samsung SGH-P300 features and specifications:

* Li-ion 800 mAh
* 96g
* 1.3 megapixel camera
* GPRS, MMS, Bluetooth
* 90MB memory

MobileBurn reviews the Samsung SGH-P300, and finds the phone's camera to be average: "The SGH-P300's camera is an average quality 1.3 megapixel unit. Since it is fixed focus, it rarely takes sharp pictures, but takes reasonable photos in most situations. It lacks a white balance setting, but its automatic white balance seems to work pretty well - especially with indoor lighting, a rare trait. A number of settings for picture quality and resolution are available (all sample photos we shot were at the highest setting), as are a number of fun features like mosaics and frames (though frames only work at the lowest resolution). Multi-shot modes and various color/negative effects are also available, as is an adjustable self-timer function. Like many Samsung devices, most of the functions can be quickly accessed via keypad shortcuts, saving you the hassle of using the menus once you have learned what each key does. You can access the sample photo gallery at the end of the story by using the table of contents select box that is located to the right of the page numbers at the top of the page."

TechDigest reviews the Samsung SGH-P300, and finds that it has an at-times crackly microphone, but the style is quite seductive. About the phone's camera: "The 1.3 megapixel camera, which shoots through a clever little hole in the incorporated case, yields bearable results for stills, and the usual happy slapper standard blocky video. Its flash though doubles as an emergency torch for late night lost cufflink crises. A nice touch."
