Back in 2005...

Mobile and Smart phones can do more and more these days (in addition to checking the latest rarity news or browsing this website). Almost every model has a built-in camera and some of the top range cameraphones can produce surprisingly acceptable images. When combined with a scope with high definition glass, it is capable of producing reasonable images of birds which may be printed out at small size. Like digiscoping there is a high failure rate but it is easier than attaching a real camera to the lens. The main drawbacks with using a cameraphone are the lack of optical zoom and lower quality lens but one has to remember that the device is first and foremost a communication device.

 

The Nokia 6630 produces a 1.3 megapixel image (1280 x 960 pixels) with a fairly acceptable resolution for web publishing.
