MobileChoice reviews the Sony Ericsson S500i and writes, "You have to slide open the phone to reveal the camera lens which is placed on the rear of the front fascia. The five-way navigation joypad controls the camera. Unfortunately, the lens itself is pretty basic with no auto-focus, macro focus for close-ups or flash of any kind. It shoots in a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 pixels, but there are a few modes and features to tinker with if you’re feeling adventurous. You can take snaps in Panorama (this stitches together three pictures for a panoramic landscape), Frames (this uses, er, pretty frames to tart up the picture) and Burst that shoots four frames in quick succession, which is good for moving subjects."
