Samsung SGH-P300, 1.3 megapixel camera

Samsung SGH-P300Trusted Reviews reviews the Samsung SGH-P300 and writes, "There’s a 1.3-megapixel camera built-in to the P300, which is again a little disappointing compared to the 2-megapixel camera seen in the D600. The results from the camera were variable, and definitely no match for my D600, even though that phone is almost a year old now. The P300 is also only Tri-band compared to the D600 which supports quad-band GSM. ... There’s no denying that the Samsung SGH-P300 is slim and stylish in a retro pocket calculator way, but what you’ve really got here is an old Samsung D500 in a party dress. The handset is also a bit too wide to sit comfortably in your hand, while pressing it to your ear when making a call is also a little awkward. But it’s the keypad layout that really ruins this handset, making simple things like dialling a number more difficult than it should be

Samsung SGH-E900 Reviews CNET Asia has a review of the Samsung SGH-E900 and writes about the phone's camera: "Unfortunately, the E900 isn't completely perfect and we found some of the features lackluster. The 2-megapixel camera takes a while to load and when you do take a picture there is a significant amount of shutter lag, so the pictures come out blurry if you move your hand. Also the flash doesn't work properly and makes things look blue rather than bright."

Pocket-Lint reviews the Samsung E900 and writes - 'As the successor to the D600 the E900 ticks all the boxes, the interface although retro in its design is easy to use and will be second nature to other Samsung users, who liked the idea of the chocolate phone however weren't too sure of the interface.As for a style icon, like the Chocolate phone, the SGH-E900 does a good job, the touch sensitive screens passed the wow factor down the pub, while the large screen meant seeing anything you're doing also got the thumbs up. However where the Samsung E900 wins out is its feature set: 2 megapixels compared to 1.3, in-built loud speaker and like the D600 a TV out connection to share photos and video with others.'

TechDigest reviews the Samsung E900 and writes, "The camera is 1.3 megapixels, and pictures are bright regardless of the lighting, even when you don't use the LED flash. The other key feature, the MP3 player, benefits from the addition of a MicroSD slot - the one area in which the E900 triumphs against the LG Chocolate. Separate touch buttons appear when the MP3 player is activated. minimising"
