Motorola’s first mega-megapixel cameraphone, the Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5 is the company’s first foray in to high-end handsets with a high-quality camera module on board. The Motorola ZN5 leverages Kodak’s Perfect Touch Technology and Kodak Imaging Technology to create an intuitive and incredibly snappy 5 megapixel cameraphone with no noticeable shutter lag. If there’s any shutter lag on the Motorola ZN5, you’d be hard pressed to detect it.
Unfortunately, the MOTOZINE ZN5 doesn’t hook up to 3G networks, limiting users to EDGE data speeds to get their wireless data-fix. With nary a 3G radio to speak of, the Motorola ZN5 falls short of the handset’s full potential.
Still, the Motorola ZN5 takes incredible 5 megapixel pictures. There’s virtually no shutter lag, and the Xenon flash is impressively bright even in a well lit convention center. What more could you ask for in a cameraphone? And, no, 3G is not an acceptable answer.
