...visual timeline of what you shot - find what you want and instantly edit it. You'll even be able to instantly e-mail your clip to friends or someday upload it to Facebook - when AT&T gets around to it. The new phone has a 3-megapixel camera (autofocus, or you can tap an object in the viewfinder to focus on it). A built-in compass supplements the onboard GPS, so now you'll be able to see not only where you are on a map but also which direction you're facing. Voice commands, cut-and-paste options...
...only about five minutes before the image sensor overheats. (You can step down the quality and get 20 minutes of shooting time.) You'll need at least an 8-GB SD card for video, since five minutes of HD can chew up a full 600 MB of space. Likewise, autofocus doesn't work after you start shooting; that means if you're following a target that moves closer or farther, you'll need to focus manually, which can be a nuisance...

Image quality is a mere two megapixels, but some nice software tricks compensate for the lack of resolution...
...love your digital camera but wouldn't dare take it to the beach--the surf, the sand, the horror! Now there's hope: Sony's 2-megapixel Cyber-shot U60 ($250) is certified for use at depths of up to 5 ft. And it has autofocus, a memory-stick slot and MPEG movie mode--but no optical zoom.
