Samsung Producing 5 Megapixel Camera Phone
Shippy writes "Straight from Yahoo News on the other side of the pond comes a story about Samsung's latest creation: a five-megapixel camera phone. This is pretty cool considering it's a pretty big jump from the camera phones that are currently available (many max out around 1.5 megapixels). It's expected to be available by the end of the year, but only in South Korea. I doubt it'll take long for a domestic carrier to pick up on this hot new toy." Other readers submitted a closeup picture and the company press release.
Your argument doesn't apply here... if you're a 'photographer', what the hell are you doing with a camera phone?
You'd need a good flash for this main reason:
The main demographic that's going to use a phone like this are 16-30 year olds. Being able to snap a good pic at the bar, club or party you're at will sell this phone. (And read the comment I made about battery life.)
