New Phone

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that the iPhone is about to be released in Australia. I recently purchased an iPod touch. The only differences as far as I can tell? No camera and no phone on the iPod.

So, in the last few days, I was contacted by my telco and offered a new phone, not an iPhone though, this new phone has a 5 mega-pixel camera in it, and will cost extra to add 3g accessibility to it. The iPhone, has but a 2 mega-pixel camera, and looking at some of the plans on offer in terms of downloads, I still think I am better off sticking with the new Sony Ericsson C902, my biggest fear? That the new phone will have TOO MANY camera features in it, after all part of the challenge of using an image capture device like a mophone is that you are limited to light and composition as the only way to achieve image nirvana.

Other implications are:- 1. My mophone blog may stop or change. 2. My Neo-documentary project may also end or change.

I have to completely agree with your statement that a camera phone which has "TOO MANY camera features" completely changes the game. Nothing like limited capabilities to force the photographer to make, as you say, the "light and composition" do all the talking.
