Cellphone a good all-around tool for newspapers<\/font><\/p>\n

Now that newspapers are discovering that they can transform their reporters into multimedia content generators (read: the reporters can take pictures, audio and video), one of the real innovative ways of empowering them is to issue them bitchin’ cellphones. <\/p>\n

The latest one to come out is starting to look like it might really be suitable for taking decent pictures that can be run on the front page – the LG “Viewty” phone will be coming out in mid-October.<\/a><\/p>\n

There are also a couple of LG phones coming out that look to be designed to fight the iPhone for the touch screen\/all around coolness niche. <\/p>\n

A 5.1 megapixel image can theoretically be blown up to 8×11 size … although the real test is going to be with color depth, focus, image clarity, etc. There is obviously no way that a cellcam can compete with a digital SLR for image quality, but for the quick’n’dirty world of online multimedia, if the content is compelling, the image quality can be forgiven.  

Here’s some more tech specs: <\/a><\/p>\n

Granted, it may not be the best of names, but it has some cool
\nfeatures. Chief of which is its 5.1 MP camera which has a Schneider
\nKreuznach lens, image stabilizer, up to ISO 800 sensitivity, auto
\nfocus, and 120fps video recording. It also has a 3 inch screen as well
\nas a music player.<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If it does have single-click ability to upload video (as of this writing, to a YouTube account, although that can obviously change), this could also be a boon to lone wolf citizen reporters looking to build out their media content.
