Gadget Wars: MOTOZINE ZN5 Vs Nokia 6220 Classic
By: Shayne Rana   |   Dec 05, 2008

The mobile phone camera is becoming a necessity it would seem for even the average mobile phone user. I even had my not-TOO-tech-savvy Mom ask me to buy her a new handset that had a camera. In this Gadget War segment, I’ve pitted 2 handsets with 5 megapixel AF lenses and xenon flashes against each other. Once again, I’d just like to remind you that it’s not the handset as a whole that’s under scrutiny - just the camera and nothing more.

The handsets in question are the MOTOZINE Kodak ZN5 and the Nokia 6220 Classic. So if you were considering either of these handsets as an option for purchase simply because you’re one of those snap-happy individuals, irrespective of its design or features, hopefully this will help you make your choice.

Form Factor and Start up
In this particular portion I have to give it up to the ZN five that has a sturdier and smoother, hassle-free lens cover. Start up time was also no problem. After the lens cover was opened it took the handset 2 seconds to engage the camera.


The 6220 Classic was quite outclassed in this case with an oddly designed plastic slider and a lens case that didn’t often open up or close too well. Due to this very factor the camera’s activation time was about 4 seconds at times.

Motorola wins this round hands down.

Features
Motorola and Nokia, both have a very standardized display for their camera menus. Motorola’s camera features can be accessed by using the navigation key (up or down) so the features are not visible and you’ll have to pretty much memorize the arrangement. Features include White Balance, a few scene modes with Night, an auto stitch Panorama mode that does a really good job and Multi Short (burst). There's also a quick access key on the keypad to access the gallery.


The 6220, like all the other Nokia handsets have the features clearly visible on one side of the screen. You can navigate the section using the five way nav-pad and even change the order of their placement. The settings also come with helpful hints on the conditions for their usage. They include Scene modes, ISO levels, White balance, exposure settings, color tones and a self timer options among others.

Nokia takes this round, but by a very slim margin.
