Now this is interesting, because with the Samsung D500 we're actually taking a technological step backwards compared to the Kodak DC240 I told you about last month. And for good reason: this is the first phone-integrated camera I really used day to day, between late 2004 and early 2006.

I'd already had a sensor on some run-of-the-mill i-Mode phone I got from Bouygues a few years earlier, but the quality was abominable, whereas with this little D500 it was quite clean.
