Phone Overkill

posted by Francis Ho

I was having lunch with my office colleagues and one of them had recently bought a Nokia N95 which has a 5 megapixels camera (and which he has not even tried yet). All the photos on my blog are taken with my Pentax Optio 43WR digital camera which is a paltry 4 megapixels. And this darn handphone has 5 megapixels? *sigh* It was a clear and bright day and what was I to do but to put down my chopsticks and delicately picked up the camera phone instead, being extra careful not to drool on it.

And here are the 2 photos I snapped with the camera phone and which was also emailed to me – with the N95. Actually I could even have blogged about this there and then as the N95 has built-in wifi. It even contain an integrated GPS receiver and ships with navigational software so that you can precisely locate where you snapped your photos. Smart phone huh? Maybe the next upgrade model can even take pictures on its own. Hmmm ...

Suddenly I felt nostalgic about my manual Nikon FM2 film camera (remember those?) and my first 'brick' motorola hand phone and realised how much changes had occurred and how quickly time has passed ... *sigh*

Yes, but can that model of cell phone find Sarah Conner?
