04 June, 2009

    samsung wont stop at nothing to dominate the market ....agreed

    they will throw everything but the kitchen sink .........not agreed , i think they are gonna throw it in pretty soon.

    its a 12 mp with touch wiz? yeah right.... as someone pointed out , that would be a portfolio disaster.
    im a nokia fan, but samsung is putting some pretty tempting dishes on the table. im not sure what nokia is so smug about, samsung is becoming the tech leader [ they used to be the slider tech leader ]. and nokia may think the common man only conciders price , so cheap copy paste tech stuffed phones are ok,. but soon sammy will be able to put prices down too. what then nokia??/ just one thing, the e250 sold like hotcake in my country, where people couldnt spell samsung before.

          I don't know how other cameraphones are doing, but f/6.3 is surely nog much! Plus, zooming is going to be a compromise to the lens system, so it probably won't be as sharp as a prime (non-zoom lens).

          But hell, all new phones with new specs are welcome!

            I Think this is photoshop. The 12 mpix text and the logos next (taken from INNOV8) to it are not in the same line with camera`s view angle (if you look very closely). And the camera part comes little bit over the top part of the phone. And the blue shadow looks very weird. And this phone does not fit into samsung portfolio (because of Pixon12).

            The 15th June announcement must be cubic. Look at the previous arguments.

              Um, strange wording - adding 3x optical zoom makes it a contender against dedicated cameras?

              I'd say its exactly the opposite - adding a zoom on, unless its using expensive optics, generally compromises the imaging, adding barrel distortion/vignetting. Zooms are often optimised for one end of the zoom range, not both.

                I won't be surprised if Samsung come out cam phone with 3X optical zoom.

                They did it on G800 and G810.

                And the "Optical 3X Zoom" is not strange, as G800 also has written "Optical 3X Inner Zoom" under the camera lens.

                        This seems to be an early pic of the 12mp Pixon that was never been posted befor.

                          Wow it really does look like a digicam check it out it even has a lens barrel (just like a normal digicam) but problem is barrel distortion might be a big problem,but it's ok.... Hoping that the cyber-shot phone looks like the W series lineup of Sony's cyber-shot even better if it's made out metal alloy

                              I can and will not believe that Samsung will show another touchwiz device with 12mp which is so close to the pixon12. Thats a really senceless move IMO. Cause: what reason i have to buy the pixon12 if i can get a mobile with such the same spezification + optical zoom?

                              No guys...that's hard to believe. I believe the mobile will be an INNOV8 successor (slider) with symbian or it will be an android touchscreen-device....maybe both.

                                      finaly.. somebody did it, and even though i am a nokia fan, samsung is my hero. 3x optical zoom is what a camera phone needed. if a phone has 12 mpx, isn't it ovios that you will be taking allot of photos? and all those photos shouldn't be limited to 20m... we need to look closer. to bad nokia forgot about the n93 and 93i... n94 should have been the first 8-12mp 5x optical zoom af phone. the same form and a bit of touch screen would have made it an amazing camera phone. but nokia is faling behind in originality and inovation..
