Seven years ago, the camera-phone hardly registered. Indeed, on 17 June 2003, some idiot wrote in the Guardian that the low take-up of those newfangled 3G phones with their built-in cameras, launched two months previously, could be ascribed to the fact that “it’s not immediately clear what they’re for, and that mystery is not sufficiently seductive to make many of us shell out”. The writer all but argued that camera-phones were destined for the technological knacker’s yard, like Sinclair C5s, the Securi-Gnome and NiteMates slippers with their built-in headlights (all real products). With the benefit of hindsight, let me admit what a bonehead I was to write that.
Many times, digital cameras do not have sufficient memory space. It is true that the in-built memory can vary depending on the brand of digital camera. In a few cases, the in-built memory can store just about 15 numbers of pictures. Your kids may get it not enough while going out in a break. For this reason, it would be great, if you could get bigger the default memory space. This can offer your kid flexibility to accumulate a larger number of pictures.
