Amazing Blackberry Playbook Has 5MP Rear Camera, 3MP Front Camera and 1080p HD Video

Below information for Blackberry Playbook is collected from the web for reference. Blackberry Playbook has been in the market since May 2011.  It has 7 inches screen which is bright and crisp. It has 5mp rear camera for daily shooting of pictures and 1080p HD video and 3 mega pixel front camera for video conference. The rear sensor is 4:3 and captures at 2592 x 1944 for full resolution. By default the PlayBook shoots in 16:9 which results in a cropped 2592 x 1456 (3.7MP) image. The front camera also has a 4:3 ratio sensor, capturing natively at 2048 x 1536 (3MP). In 16:9 mode you just lose some vertical resolution as the sensor is cropped to 2048 x 1152 (2.35MP). It comes with 3 models with different memory size, namely 16gb, 32gb and 64gb.  Both the front and rear sensors can shoot video at 480p, 720p or 1080p at 30 fps. Videos are shot at 720p by default. The 1ghz processor is good enough to play game and HD video. It is inexpensive (CAD$199.99 for 16gb) and good to use it as entertainment device, e-book reader or serious use. BlackBerry PlayBook support native HDMI video output. Simply connect it to a TV using a HDMI cable and the PlayBook display is projected to the TV.  No app needed. No adapter needed.

Blackberry Playbook Rating (Source:CNET)

3.5 stars out of 5 =75%

The good: RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook is a fast, powerful 7-inch tablet with HDMI output, advanced multitasking and security, and a browser that integrates Adobe Flash 10.2 for a desktop-style Web experience.

The bad: The 7-inch screen cramps the powerful browser; the wake button is difficult to push; and app selection trails the competition.

The bottom line: The BlackBerry PlayBook ably showcases RIM's powerful new mobile operating system, but its middling size diminishes many of its best features
