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?"

    There already are cellphones that record video, I believe there are some that also record sound. Personally I dont like camera phones. I think my phone should be used for communicating, not taking worthless pictures that are (usually) low quality and looking at them on a small screen. On another note, If this is a 7MP Camera are they actually going to have a decent lens? Using a cheap piece of plastic probably wont cut it...

    then you shouldn't have worn a skirt.

    If you wear clothing that is open to the world, then you have no right to complain about people looking through the natural opening. If your goal is to hide your underwear from the world, you should wear clothing that doesn't have openings through which your underwear can be seen.
