KC550 Review

A line of multimedia-oriented handsets has secured LG a strong foothold in the cameraphone kingdom. LG KC550 is probably the first to join the club with only imaging in mind. A mid-range handset with top-of-the-shelf photo and video capabilities is probably what describes best the compact slider.
The LG KC550 sure lacks the Viewty power and Secret's Black Label charisma. OK, it's unassuming, but not without a talent of its own. The 5 megapixel slider strives to be the most affordable cameraphone out there with a WVGA@30fps video recording topping.
Those qualities have set many shutterbugs a foot with excitement as they are finally promised uncompromising cameraphone capabilities at a moderate price tag that's fit for the masses. But please, don't go throwing your digital camera just yet - let's first see what LG have for us this time.
