Another way to save weight

Frank@OBOW in Tech for travel

kodakmoto.jpgWe posted several weeks ago that improving camera phones mean you may be able to leave one more thing out of your travel kit: the camera that’s just a camera. Kodak and Motorola have collaborated on what may be the best one yet - the Motozine ZNS. It’s worth a look.

(John Blake of Kodak) said the software in the camera phone, more than the megapixels, is primarily responsible for the ZN5’s image quality.

“The average consumer will never be able to tell the difference” between shots taken by the ZN5 and by high-end cameras, he said.

It’s promised by the end of the year and is said to offer one-touch upload to a Kodak online account. I like the idea of uploading trip pictures daily (or hourly) so those back home can see them almost live.
