Sony Ericsson Shows off New Camera Phone
Sony Ericsson has shown off a new handset, the K770 Cyber-shot. The handset is just 14.5mm thick and comes with a powerful photo light for indoor photo-taking and filming and a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus.
"The best moments in life always seem to happen when you don't have a camera," says Helene Barnekow, Head of Central Marketing at Sony Ericsson. "If you like the idea of having a snapshot camera on your phone, and want shots that look good in your family album, then the K770 is perfect." Barnekow continues, "The real beauty of the K770 is that you can let your friends and family share your experiences. Once you've captured the moment, it's easy to print the picture or upload it immediately to your personal on-line gallery."
Once in camera mode the 1.9inch screen becomes the viewfinder, the Cyber-shot based menu becomes visible and you'll also see eight lit icons appear across the phones keypad. These serve as 1-click shortcuts to each of the camera's key functions, such as picture size and photo light. If you take a spontaneous snapshot and the light conditions are poor, simply select Photo fix for PC-free photo editing on your phone.
The K770 is about much more than just camera features. Supporting Memory Stick Micro, the K770 comes with a 256 MB memory card that lets you store up to 200 photos of the best quality.
The K770 is a GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 phone that will be available in selected markets from autumn 2007.
