7 Megapixel Camera Phone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-a-lotta-pixels dept.

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 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.

    You will never get mod points by simply agreeing with the parent poster. (In fact, you simply waste the readers' time.) The key to Slashdot is to add something extra that the community might find interesting into your reply.


    Totally agree

    " And how would your phone look like with that nikon lens attached to it? Bulky yes?"

    Is that a camera phone in your pocket, or are you glad to see me?
