My phone: Sony Ericsson C905

For me, buying a mobile phone means the most important feature I look out for is the camera.

Right now, I use this camera phone:

The Sony Ericsson C905

I chose this phone because of the 8mp camera. If you don't want such high-definition mobile pictures, you can also change the settings to 5mp or lower. Currently I use 5mp, as I think it enough for most photos.

The camera settings are very good for a phone. It has flash settings, focus, a self-timer, effects [b/w, sepia] and you can also adjust the white balance. The lens at the back of the phone is covered by a sliding cover, and when you slide it down, it immediately switches on the camera. In fact, you can even hold the phone and take photos just like you would for a real camera.

Shots taken are pretty good too. Here are some samples I've taken:


So far I'm quite pleased with the quality of the shots I've taken on this phone. It is bigger than your average mobile phone but I think the photographs taken make up for the size.

Do you have this phone as well? What do you think of it? Or do you think other phones are better.

I like to click, I like to snap

*Click* *Snap*

The most common sounds one imagines one hears when taking photos.

Nowadays, everyone is a photographer. Nobody needs to bring out chunky photographic equipment in huge plastic boxes anymore. What everyone does is simply take out one's mobile phone, point and *snap*

Or one can simply take out the credit-card sized compact digital camera from one's handbag, and then *snap*

Nothing beats the superior quality of a real pro camera, that is for sure. But nothing also beats the convenience of having a small camera in your handbag, ready for those shots with your friends, or your dinner, or the magnificent sunrise you just happened to see.

This blog is dedicated to those who are like that, who like to *click and *snap, like me!
