Cell Phone Video Camera
There are currently only a few companies that make a video
camera cell phone and they are quite expensive. I am sure they will drop in
price as more and more companies start to develop more of these phones as
they become mainstream. One of the best of the new video phones that we have
tried is the LG VX7000 from Verizon. It is a
cool flip phone. Odds are if
you found this page you already know that these phones are not cheap. If you
don't really need all the bells and whistles on a cell phone than this is
not the phone for you. Although I am sure you might be able to get this
Video cell phone free if you look hard enough but it will come with a 2 year
contract.
The other phone that we tried out is the Samsung E315. The
pictures were slightly better on the Verizon LG VX7000 but this cell phone
from Samsung came really close to matching it. The Samsung also has a built
in camera and had a better wireless web or (WAP) as they are now calling it.
The Samsung is also a world phone which makes it a better choice if you plan
on going on a vacation overseas.
These wireless video phones wont take the place of a camcorder just yet
but they offer a lot if you just want to capture small chunks of video to
send to a relative. If you are looking for a phone/pda that has video look
at the Palm Treo 650 as it holds up to 15 minutes of video without the use
of a memory card.
Some people are making money selling their videos to news sources like
CNN or MSNBC. If you happen to be in the right place where news strikes you
would love to be able to cash in on it. That is just another way to justify
the cost of splurging on an expensive phone.
