High resolution digital cameras are no longer an exception on today’s mobile phones. It started a few years ago with an integrated VGA camera, which we thought to be very innovative at the time. Currently, however, there are phones on the market featuring an 8.0 or even 12.0 Megapixel camera. Yet the difference in quality does not go unnoticed. Whereas all the attention seems to go to the snapshot camera, the video capture function seems to have been pushed into the background a little bit. However, the Samsung HD now changes this, and actually emphasizes an HD video function.• Read the full Samsung Omnia HD review at LetsGoMobile.

LetsGoMobile adds: "The integrated digital camera of the Samsung i8910 HD features a 8.0 megapixels of resolution. It allows you to take pictures up to a maximum resolution of 3264×2448 pixels. Besides the picture quality, Samsung puts the focus on the video function by adding HD to the product name. The camera application can be activated by the shortcut key on the side of the phone or by selecting the camera in the menu. Start-up is smooth, enabling you to quickly start shooting. Once set to camera, you will find icon bars on both sides next of the viewfinder for the shooting settings."

Creative’s latest point-and-shoot camcorder has emerged, and though the feature list isn’t exactly overwhelming it’s a decent update over the second-gen version.  The new Creative Vado HD still grabs 720p high-definition footage but now the company are claiming improved low-light and bright-light performance together with out-of-the-box compatibility with both PCs and Macs.

There’s also more choice in terms of connectivity, with a freshly added stereo microphone port and headphones connector.  The Vado HD will also now take still photos, and can be used in a motion-activated mode.  HDMI connectivity, a pull-out USB cord and a wide-angle lens are still present, though the 8GB model appears to have been canned in favor of the 4GB version, which can store up to 120 minutes of HD footage or 7,000 still photos.

Most obviously, the somewhat bland casing of the previous versions has been replaced with a choice of glossy black or white, with red, blue and purple to follow.  It’ll be available to preorder imminently, priced at $179.99.
