More on the new Gigabyte g-Cam camera phone. The g-Cam actually looks quite weird, it might look better if Gigabyte makes it a slider style phone instead of a clam shell style phone. The g-Cam’s biggest selling point is apparently its built-in 5 megapixel CCD camera, which can capture still image with resolution of up to 7 megapixel.

The g-Cam measures 105×46 x 24.1 mm in dimensions and weighs 113 g. To make its 5 megapixel CCD more usable in dark environment, it employs a xenon flash light which provides much brighter light than the LED flash light found in other camera phones, as well as anti red eye feature.

The g-Cam has rich camera functions such as auto focus, auto/manual white balance, multiple exposure compensation, tripple light metering mode, single/multiple point focus mode, ISO sensitivities, and 10 shooting modes including automatic, portrait, scenery, macro, sports, night scene, night scene with portrait, muzeum, backlight, and motion.

You can connect the g-Cam directly to compatible printers and print your photos without going through a computer. It also comes with TV-out support for you to share your photo or video with family and friends.

Some specifications:

  • Display: 2” 262k colors touch screen with 176×200 resolution
  • Talk time: 3 hours
  • Standby time: 200 hours
  • 3.3x digital zoom, 10 cm macro
  • Supports M-JPEG, MPEG4, 3gp, JPG, GIF, BMP, WBMP, MP3, MIDI, WAV, AMR and AAC
  • 64 polyphonic or MIDI/MP3/WAV ringtones
  • Supports miniSD (256MB bundled)
  • built-in english-chinese-english dictionary
  • Taiwanese maps with integrated information including restaurants and entertainment info

The g-Cam will be availble in Taiwan from December onwards with retail price of 13,900 TWD (US$418).
