Cell Phone Cams Can Make You a Star
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Smartphones, Corporate News, Editorial,
Budding filmmakers, keep on YouTubing. With hits sometimes getting into the millions, you could be discovered any time now. The proof of this pudding comes from the likes of Spike Lee, who is now working with Nokia to direct cell phone footage of the little people. The director stated, “Aspiring filmmakers no longer have to go to film school to make great work. With a simple mobile phone, almost anyone can now become a filmmaker.”
Yeah, we know that this is not your ordinary director with ordinary backing, but with a decent cellie cam and the world as your oyster, go out there and take your best shot.

Sony Unveils Mini-Cam
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Corporate News,
Sony has released a hi-def video camera, claiming that it is the smallest and lightest on the planet. Available in Japan later this month, the HDR-TG1 measures 1.3 x 4.7 x 2.5-inches and weighs a mere 10.6 oz. With storage of 55 minutes, the camcorder has a 2.7-inch touch LCD and resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The cam comes with a start-up 4GB Pro Duo Mark2 media card. We dig Sony’s cameras and have used them for years, but we are thinking that with a price tag of 130,000 Yen ($1,271.00,) we think we will purchase two larger ones at half that amount.

Only 100 will be available through Collette online and for your €550 ($870.00) they will include a “premium” box, a cover for the cell phone, a hands free kit, a metal chain, and up to 13 letters of customization. Maybe if Lee jeans puts one out, they will come up with something affordable for the little people.
