Sanyo 6600 (Katana) Reviews

PCMag reviews the Sprint PCS Vision Phone Katana by Sanyo, and has this to say about the phone's camera: 'The flashless VGA camera is nothing to crow about. It takes bluish, overexposed images, but anyone serious about camera-phone photography should be getting a 1- or 2-megapixel camera phone anyway. The phone's 3.1MB of available memory holds about 33 pictures at maximum quality, and though you can use the external screen as a viewfinder for self-portraits, there's no video recording mode. The only way to get the pictures off the phone is to e-mail them to yourself."

Mobiledia has a review of the Sanyo Katana and has this to say about the phone's camera: "While the filters and functions are impressive, in the mobile industry, the Katana's VGA camera is outdated. With many high-end devices breaking the 3.0-megapixel barrier, camera phones are beginning to look less like communication devices and more like digital cameras of yesteryear. Lacking the ability to store high resolution photos or recording video clips, the Katana's images are too low in resolution to make accurate prints, instead best used for cell phone wallpapers or multimedia attachments."
