The Sony Ericsson C902 Cybershot and C702 Cybershot

Wow, all I can say is... I'm going to be on a continual waiting experience for the replacement for my current phone. Each new generation seems to be better and better. Note that I say this referring, really, only to Sony Ericsson, Nokia, and possibly LG.

What gets me about these new phones from Sony Ericsson is that they continue to offer the strong BlueTooth support, nice and simple candybar design, as well as the ability to access the high speed cellular networks, available in the United States. On top of that, they take great pictures and from the white papers for both of these phones, they will be able to take some nice video clips, and save all of it onto an expandable memory card, which expands the phones' storage ability from what is already a generous amount.

Having said that... let's look at what Sony Ericsson's two new phones have to offer the photographer who doesn't want to carry or spend on a seperate dedicated point and shoot.

The Dreaded Question: Are You A Canon or Nikon Shooter?

Whether I'm just admiring someone else's photograph, fielding a question from someone who's interested in photography, on site, somewhere, shooting, or talking with prospective models and/or folks I work with... I'm inevitably asked that magic question: Do you shoot with a Canon or Nikon?

I am rarely ever asked, what kind of camera I shoot with, or who makes my camera. I'm never asked if I'm shooting with an Olympus, Pentax, or Sigma. Inevitably, it always seems to come down to the big two: Canon and Nikon.

For the record, I'm a Konica Minolta/Sony photographer. Started using Minolta/Konica Minolta cameras because they just felt right, and it looks fairly good, that I'll follow their business over to Sony's Alpha 700(A700). Similar feel, and I'm invested in the system.

So, being the shooter that I am, how do I answer these folks?
