camera phones

so yes I am still on the hunt for a better one to help me mobile blog with more details. but I am not so easily getting sucked into the megapixel war. they don't mean jack compared to a quality lens. The k790a still seems like the leader of the pack for now.

We're skeptical about the value of a 5-megapixel camera on this phone. There’s mounting evidence that pixel count means nothing compared to the quality of the camera lens. We've seen plenty of 2-megapixel cameras on phones recently that produce images no more usable than a simple VGA camera. More megapixels just means you get a really large lousy image. We don't think people will give up their digital cameras until the lens quality on phones catches up with what you'd expect from a low-end standalone camera. While the 5-megapixel number places the Samsung F700 clearly at the high-end, the proof will be in the images.
