Phlash Cameraphone Flash

Mon Aug 14, 2006 - 1:45 PM EDT - By Jay Gross

Conclusion

Phlash's light is too blue, and falls off too rapidly for general shooting with Treos, but it could be a boon to the close-in people shots that phone camera bugs favor, and wonderful for those all important self portraits in dark sleazy places. Museum curators won't beat paths to your door, but for snapshots it could be a blast.

Quibbles aside, I'm definitely going to keep Phlash around, and invest in a set of spare batteries. It's not the solution to shooting pictures in low light with the Treos, but in some situations it could be the difference between a usable picture and one that's so dark it looks like a black cat eating licorice in a coal mine. My 700p in particular needs all the help it can get. Besides, I might need to find my car keys in a dark parking lot.
