Library - Camera Phones Considering the number of camera phones out in the public and the technology available to take a snapshot and instantly send it anywhere in the world — including a Web site or an e-mail address — it is increasingly important to be aware of this potential liability. An overwhelming majority of camera phone users use them for harmless purposes, but it is unfortunate that a small percentage of people can ruin it for everyone else. The technology was developed, shrunk into phones, and found mainstream success as a novelty for people to take innocent pictures and instantly send them to their friends and family. www.flcities.com /membership/library_camera_phones.asp   (899 words)

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Crime (Camera Cell Phone Identity Theft) Though introduced in the USA only in 2002, camera phones have already helped solve crimes and aided in the capture of criminals when quick-thinking phone owners had the wit to turn their units on their attackers. Camera phones have been banned in many public areas like swimming pools and locker rooms in the U.K. and Japan after police discovered pedophiles were using the technology to add to their child porn collections.

CNN.com - Camera phones add 'beep' to smile - Nov. 12, 2003 Alarmed at the use of camera phones to catch individuals in compromising situations, South Korea has ordered manufacturers to ensure that all new handsets emit a beep whenever a picture is taken. "New camera-equipped phones are required to make a sound with at least a 65-decibel level when a picture is taken and the function can't be switched off if users change their phone to a silent mode," the telecommunications ministry said in a statement. In one notable case, a woman used her camera phone to snap naked women in one of the country's popular public sauna baths, and then sold the photographs to an Internet Web site. cnn.com /2003/BUSINESS/11/12/korea.camerabeep.reut/index.html   (270 words)

Reiter's Camera Phone Report: Components - Camera phones Camera phones are more prone to movement than digital camera because they usually are lighter and not often held with two hands and steadied. Camera phones typically have poorer quality components compared to digital cameras which is a major reason digital camera images with the same resolution look so much better, such as the really poor images of the first 1.3 megapixel camera phone in the U.S. that I tested in the summer and fall of 2004 (see below). Dialog Semiconductor and the camera lens division of Carl Zeiss are partnering to create camera phone modules that includes the optics and sensor from Zeiss and the microprocessor from Dialog, according to an article in Silicon Strategies. www.cameraphonereport.com /components_camera_phones/index.html   (11057 words)

Reiter's Camera Phone Report: Statistics - Camera phones ABI Research says camera phones and mobile television-enabled phones are helping to drive the growth of cellular handsets in Japan and South Korea, according to the firm's press release. Camera phone research company Future Image and software developer Corel have issued a joint press release about imaging trends and predict the mainstream standard for camera phones by the end of 2007 will be three megapixels with a 3x optical zoom. The demand for digital cameras might be peaking, and camera phones have potential for increasing revenues for photo processing if consumers can figure out how to get photos out of the handsets and into the hands of photo labs, according to an article in USA Today. www.cameraphonereport.com /statistics_camera_phones/index.html   (11241 words)

PC World - Camera Phones Hit 1 Megapixel ATLANTA -- Camera phones are moving from novelties to viable digital cameras, with the introduction of several new models that shoot images at 1 megapixel or even higher resolution. But if users send an image from their camera phone via MMS or e-mail, the photo is reduced in quality--transmitted images are downgraded to a lower resolution--because today's wireless networks limit attachments to only 100KB. As a phone, the handset is held vertically; as a camera, it's held horizontally (though it can also be turned vertically). www.pcworld.com /news/article/0,aid,115340,00.asp   (1218 words)

Wired News: Camera Phones Incite Bad Behavior While camera phones have been broadly available for only a few months in the United States, more than 25 million of the devices are out on the streets of Japan, which leads the world in fancy mobile phones. Japan's camera phones are designed to set off an electronic ring when the shutter is pressed, warning everyone nearby that a photograph is being taken. In Yokohama, Japan, an 18-year-old female store clerk used her camera phone to take a photo of a 38-year-old man who was fondling her on a commuter train. www.wired.com /news/culture/0,1284,59582,00.html   (876 words)

Japan Media Review -- Camera phones changing the definition of picture-worthy Unlike the traditional camera, the camera phone is an intimate and ubiquitous presence that invites a new kind of personal awareness, a persistent alertness to the visually newsworthy that makes amateur photojournalists out of its users. In a survey by IPSe Marketing conducted in December last year, 42.4 percent of camera phone users reported that they took photos of "things that they happened upon that were interesting." This was followed by family members (39.5 percent), friends (36.6 percent), self (26.4 percent), pets (23.7 percent) and travel photos (21.5 percent). They also invite sharing that is more immediate, ad hoc and ongoing, such as a dad e-mailing a baby photo to a mom or a teenager showing a picture of her current crush to a friend in a fast food restaurant. www.ojr.org /japan/wireless/1062208524.php   (853 words)

Camera Phone Shoot-out: Introduction (Phone Scoop) One common question about camera phones is "why do I need one?" The fact is, many people said the same thing about cell phones when they were first introduced. This is mostly due to the inconvenience of carrying a camera, and the hassle and expense of developing film. Digital cameras eliminate the film hassle, but camera phones really take the revolution much further, by allowing you to have a camera on you at all times, and share the photos instantly. www.phonescoop.com /articles/camera_phones_2002   (934 words)

Camera Phones - Camera Phones - Review by PC Magazine When buying a camera phone, there are two big things to consider: photo quality and flexibility in getting your images off the phone. For many low-end camera phones, your only option is picture-messaging shots to yourself, a friend, or to a picture-sharing or printing service. Some camera phones also have a "mass-storage mode." That means you can plug them directly into your PC with a USB cable, and the phone appears as a removable drive in your My Computer screen, which is convenient. www.pcmag.com /article2/0,1895,1983816,00.asp   (1246 words)

Camera phones - infoSync World Although more susceptible to camera shake than a low-end digital camera, the Sony Ericsson K800i is in fact capable of replacing just such a product; a considerable feat, even though the vast majority of users will not want to rely on it for preserving precious memories.

Top 15 camera phones - infoSync World As the first camera phone to apply proper optics along with a mix of a quality 2-megapixel sensor, a brilliant high-resolution screen and a good selection of image management software, it's no wonder Nokia's N90 is best-in-class. Compact yet high quality, Sony Ericsson’s K750i is the first camera phone to merge a 2 Megapixel camera with a small form factor and still achieve results with good colour saturation and comparably crisp detail. The 3-megapixel camera puts the phone ahead of the mass of camera equipped handsets, but the slow interface resulted in many failed shots, and the lack of good software on the PC means this camera phone is not for novices. www.infosyncworld.com /news/n/6848.html   (972 words)
