World’s thinnest 8 megapixel cameraphone module by Samsung

18 Mar, 2008
Even if the race for more pixels right now seems stuck at the 5 million notch, it's more than alive behind-the-scenes. Today Samsung announced the world's thinnest...

Samsung is wasting its time developing more MP modules. Why not just improve the camera lens and CMOS, instead of making this useless upgrades. 8MP pics are huge and take too much space.

A 3MP camera w/ better and wider lens, image processing, and autofocus is better than a 12MP camera w/ nothing.

      1- wider lens
      2- material quality of the product
      3- better cpu and processings
      is the issue of better quality after 5 mp or even 3 mp.
      more than that will cause parasites that must be wiped out with phones software. a total waste.
      A ideal camera phone to make with todays tech level
      is a mixture of n95+viewty+iphone

        to the post below:

        do you mean the same apple that released a "high end phone" with a 2MP camera when the industry average for high end phones was 3MP? IF apple decides to release another phone, it most likely will not be a leader in the camera arena

            To the poster below: Your Sony will not be obsolete. A 8MP phone will not beat an 8MP dedicated camera for some time yet. The quality of the shots you take with your Cybershot camera will be amazing compared to this.

              I was sorta scared this would happen although i knew it would... so any ways 8 MP =| man its no fun whats the use of having my 8MP cybershot now... i donno i guess at times its just nice to take pictures from a camera than a camera phone...

              p.s. i do know its a module and not the phone it self.

                Why does everyone here assumed this is a cameraphone?

                The title said

                "World’s thinnest 8 megapixel CAMERAPHONE MODULE by Samsung"

                Get it? A CAMERAPHONE MODULE! It means a camera module for the phone...jeez....

                  quality... well, it'll be awful. it's just a "mpx rush", not a QUALITY rush. stupid marketing movement for bird-brian people. don't be naive. wanna (relatively) good camera in your cell - buy ONLY these equipped with AUTOFOCUS and MACRO MODE. 2mpx SE k750 will be better than this Samsung CRAP.

                        >>why would anyone want a phone that small...its a stupid idea!

                        It's only the camera component to fit into the phone - not the whole phone!! :) (stupid idea? hmmm... let's leave it there!)

                            Make sure that there is insurance avaliable on this phone ... as people will tend too loose small things and m sure this willl indeed misplace soon...

                                  Sure it will be a stupid idea, if you want more than 5 megapixel in Phone, BETTER BUY a CAMERA... for me 3 is OK

                                      That's not a phone it's a module for a cameraphone.

                                        It may be nice that it's 8 megapixel, but the quality of the pics are probably crap.
