Which camera for family snapshots?

Should I buy a camera or a camera phone? review

Digital Living I've got an old compact digital camera that has just given up on me, so I need to buy myself a new one. But I've heard that camera phones are so good now that I don't need to buy a proper camera. There's been a spate of 5.0-megapixel camera phones...

Hollywood style for your home movies

Can compact cameras zoom during video?

Sony Ericsson K800i

Digital Living Camera meets phone in Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot handset. For the David Baileys, it has a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash; for the Paris Hiltons, it's a 3G phone with all the extras. Is it a wannabe, or has it arrived?
