Camera Phones

Although it is easy to take pictures with a digital camera, transferring those pictures to your computer and then posting them on a website or e-mailing them can take time. A much easier way to take and send simple pictures is to use a mobile phone with a built-in camera. If you're considering a camera phone, just imagine using it to take pictures of your baby and then quickly sending them to his mother, or a friend or family member. Could there be a more hassle-free way to show off your pride and joy?

Once you take a picture, you can either send it to other people with compatible mobile phones or send it as e-mail. You also can easily post these pictures on a web page for even easier viewing. A newer phone with applications, like the iPhone, will even let you take a picture and post it to Facebook.

The line between digital cameras and camcorders is becoming more and more blurred, as digital cameras are able to record video clips and camcorders can take digital photos.

Is your baby walking for the first time? Take a picture and send it to your Facebook page and everyone else can join in the excitement as well. If you are a dad who travels a lot, video clips from a camera phone can be a good way to say goodnight and keep in touch with your baby.
