Equipped with a Nokia N70 or N90 and off for a long Easter weekend? Why not leave the camcorder at home and try shooting your video all on the smartphone? Steve Litchfield did just that a week ago and here he reports back and assesses the pros and cons.
Read on in the full article.
I think Nero 7 is fine too, and you get loads of other tools also with that.
Steve, 3 years before having a good camcorder function in a phone, I think this is going to happen much before that.
Along the line of what N90 (and its coming sequels) and Wilma are doing for the convergence of Mobile phone and digital camera, I think we'll see the same happening for camcorder within a year (read here a mobile phone with something like 3MP, at least 1h VGA 30fps mpg4 video with autofocus and let's dream kind of antishake).
Now the question is rather in two years, what other gadget would you really need to carry besides your mobile phone? Maybe only a foldable screen/keyboard...
Cheers!
If you think about it, its rather scary. I mean going at this rate the digital camera/Camcorder industry will totally be demolished by a decade.
Still this is cool though. I didn't know my N70 could shoot TV quality clips.
