This is the first book to introduce you to the latest high resolution cameras, show you how to evaluate their features, and take you to places on the Internet where you can keep up to date in this rapidly changing field. (You’ll even see where to find press releases on forthcoming models and download free user guides to the models you are seriously considering.) But the camera phone is only half of the equation, so you also see how to evaluate and choose from among the wireless operators who supply camera phone services.
Among the things you’ll learn are all of the techniques you use to capture good photos and videos, how your photos and videos are stored, and how you share them with others. Sharing is what camera phones are really all about and the options are not only amazing, but increasing in number every day. Using the cell network you can instantly send both still photos and videos to any cell phone number or Internet e-mail address. But you can also remove the memory card and use it or a wireless technology such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and infrared to send your photos to one of the thousands of camera phone-ready photo printing kiosks installed in public places around the world, or send them to other phones, TV sets, Web sites, photo blogs, and even digital picture frames.
The book is printed in black & white and has a well-liked spiral binding that allows the book to lie flat or be folded back. The accompanying eBook on a CD disc is a printable and searchable full-color version of the same book in Adobe's popular PDF format readable on any PC or Mac using the free Acrobat Reader or any current Web browser. The eBook contains hundreds of clickable hot links that instantly jump you to the Web sites featuring the products and services being discussed so you can get more details.
It’s easy to forecast the future of this exciting new field. There will be a constant parade of new devices with larger and larger image sizes, better and better lenses, and more and more features. This book is your gateway to these amazing devices and the exciting possibilities they offer now and in the near future.
