 Cameratown.com reviews Samsung MM-A800 camera phone : Our friend Ron Risman has published his review of the first 2 Megapixel camera phone from Samsung that will hit the US market. The Samsung MM-A800 is a very interesting mobile that not only shoots stills but also records video in VGA format (640x480). The Samsung MMA800 camera phone has a dual band, tri-mode CDMA/CDMA2000 1xRTT 800/1900 MHz, AMPS 800 MHz and is equipped with a 262,000 pixel TFT display with a QVGA resolution of 240x320 pixels. The interesting thing in a 'photographic point of view' is the integrated 2 Megapixel camera which shoot photos at a resolution up to 1632x1224 pixels and offers auto focus and a 2.5x digital zoom.

According to Ron Risman, editor of Cameratown.com: "The Samsung MM-A800 camera phone has a split personality. On one side is a very full-featured cell phone with slide out keyboard, vibrant color screen, and the ability to stream video clips, music, and view photos. Flip the camera over and you have what looks to be an easy-to-use 2.0 Megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera, complete with sliding lens cover and flash. If you placed the phone on a table with the camera side up, few people will know that it's also a phone.
Samsung MM-A800 - Multimedia mobile phone
The Samsung MM-A800 camera phone also records video either to the 32MB of internal RAM of the handset at 640x480 pixel resolution, or alternatively directly to a microSD expansion card. Also, the Samsung MM A800 features an audio player with support for AAC tunes, which would likely require users to purchase the extended battery accessory to avoid depleting the feature-laden phone in no time at all. Offering USB connectivity, the Samsung MM-A800 is also PictBridge compatible, letting users output images directly to PictBridge-equipped printers.
Cameratown.com - Summary
The Samsung MM-A800 is the first 2.0-megapixel resolution camera phone to be released in the U.S. While 2-megapixel resolution seems pretty archaic in a world of 5-, 6- and 8 Megapixel cameras, there is enough resolution to make photo quality 4"x6" prints, assuming the lens quality and compression levels don't hinder the image quality. How does Sprint's Samsung MM-A800 handle as a digital camera? Read the Samsung MM-A800 review published by Cameratown.com to find out!
