7 Megapixel Camera Phone
Alex writes "It looks like LG Electronics are planning a 7 Megapixel Camera Phone which to me seems like overkill - but it must be making a few of those digital photography manufacturers pushing out point and shoot digicams a little nervous. Camera phones will never take over DSLRs or serious digital cameras but are we seeing what will be the death of the entry level point and shoot digicam?"
What?!? A new product thats much better than the last generation of the same product?? Holy cow: maybe that Moore guy was onto something... (as in the law, not lard-assed docu-comedy director).

WHAT? Nikon ED, bitch! (and one of the more underground holy wars comes to light on /. at last)
What would really be cool is if they could split the camera off from the phone and just sell both separately. For instance without the components necessary for the phone to function, you could add more sophisticated photography features like a bigger lens or a more buffer space. I see a big marketing opportunity here.
NEVER!!!! Canon L glass all the way baby...

Is that a camera phone in your pocket, or are you glad to see me?
What are you talking about?!? Everyone knows more megapixels means better camera. My 2 megapixel camera is better than current camera phones, but the 7 megapixel camera phone is 3,5 times better than my phone.
Numbers don't lie.
