Kathleen and I continue to be wowed by the digital video capabilities of the Nokia N93. We used it on Thanksgiving to shoot a couple of short videos of our family around the dinner table. The problem we ran into was limited memory. The N93 comes with a 128-Megabyte MiniSD Card. Since the N93 captures 640x480 video at 30 frames per second, we could only fit about 6 minutes of video on our original memory card.

I just got a 2-Gigabyte MiniSD Card from Amazon.com, and the result was a huge improvement. Now I can shoot over 100 minutes of video at the highest available resolution. This will be ideal for the holidays, when we will want to get a lot of video of our son Jimmy who is six months old and our niece Emma, who is about 18 months old.

The Nokia N93 is clearly the best digital video cameraphone on the market in 2006. If you decide to buy one of these, make sure you include a 1 or 2-Gigabyte MiniSD Card in your budget. It really improves the video capture experience.
