| Digital photography with your cameraphone & field 'scope | 2016... Samsung Galaxy S5 with Kowa 823
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.
