You can store about 120-130 pictures on the standard 64mb Memory Stick Duo.
You'll find that even if you dont listen to music, the card space will easily be taken up if you put music videos or whole movie files on the phone. So, its best to get a 128mb Memory Stick as a minimum IMO.
I currently use a 1GB Pro Duo stick, which can hold around 1,800 pictures.

Well, you can find some videos in this thread:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=61850&start=0
As for tv episodes and movies, you can download them from the internet if you know where.
In the past ive copied an entire DVD to my hard drive and converted it to play on my phone too.

PHOTOSHOP DIGITAL CAMERA PIC QUALITY PROCESS:
here is my patented "Art student" process for photoshop to get the most out of each photo:
1. Open the picture and set the view to either 100% or 50% depending on what you can see on one screen. Do not use odd zoom %'s as they will appear jagged. Go to image, adjustments, auto color. Then select edit, fade auto color and adjust the slider to get a mix of the original colors and what photoshop thought was best. often about 50% works, unless you love the auto color the way it is. This is the easiest way to get rid of unnatural hues, but the fade trick helps some photos keep a normal look as it can be harsh.
2. Go to image, adjustments, levels and adjust the RBG levels. The visual black "Wave" represents how much data is stored in that level range. What this means in english is use the 3 level arrows to get black blacks, white whites, and a good mid-level. You will know it when you see it. Don't go too black or too white as you lose details. Often bringing the right and left arrows in a bit toward the center (especially the right one) helps get nice vibrant color and contrast. The middle arrow can help you "fill in" or "darken" the rest of the image. This is the best way to do brightness and contrast.
3. Use filter, unsharp mask at a maximum of 50% or so with default settings, or try the new smart sharpen tool in CS 8. Both can bring out some nice detail in a slightly blurred picture. Be very subtle. A little blur is better than sharpening so that things look fake.
4. (optional) Image, image size the image down to 1280x960 for general screen viewing, or 640x480 for web posting. Reducing size is not always bad. It can hide a lot of imperfections, and an image that looks HORRIBLY blurry at 1600x1200 may look pretty much fine at 640x480! This is the advantage of starting with a large source file. If you plan to print your image, I would leave it alone at the native resolution of the camera.
5. Go to file, save for web and use the previews to see what is the best mix of quality and size. Often JPEG at 70-80% is ideal. Some people keep the source photo file and others delete it.
These 5 steps cover color correction, black and white level, sharpening and resizing in photoshop in the best ways I have found. Enjoy and feel free to give feedback.

Or buy Paint Shop Pro 9 and have one of the best photo editing programs, go to:
- Adjust
- One Step Photo Fix
and voilá!
And if you aren´t happy with the result, you have all the options PS has

I have not been able to get verty nice results with "one step fix" programs... photoshop has the better toolset in my humble opinion, and that process i laid out can save some very nasty pictures. |

tzakiel - I knew about 4 & 5, but 1-3 are brilliant tips.
As for reducing noise in Photoshop, I sometimes grab the lasso tool & draw a selection around a noisy bit of the pic. Then I go to filter > noise > despeckle. It can improve the noise situation in a picture if there's a tiny bit of noise in the pic to start with. Make sure there's at least a 1 pixel feather around the selection to make the blend look better.
Nice edited pic, rajasekharan_v. Less noise on the chairs & the arm and hand for a start ! Did you use Photoshop ? If so, how did you do it ?

Good point, i forgot to include instructions for noise reduction. Despeckle can work nicely. Another one to try it filter, blur, smart blur and toy with the settings until you get a nice, smooth image. Overdo it, and then use the edit/fade smart blur trick to take it back to a happy medium. |

Maybe I'm paranoid, but lots of other peoples photos seem to look better than mine! Is it because I sent my pictures to my PC by sms? the phone had to re-size the pics which I guess reduces quality?
If i wanted to print some shots would it be better to upload them to my PC using a cable? I'm thinking that would mean the photos would not need to be resized and would therefore be of a better quality...?
I set my camera to have the maximum pixels and 'fine' picture quality. Am I doing everything i can to take high quality photos?
