@ Jason,

the issue is this: SIZE doesn't matter. CMOS and CCD sensors of THIS small size can be 4Mpx and still have the worst noise and distortions.

Even the Sharp 903, which is damn good, is having trouble with low-light conditions because of the relative small size of the sensor (I own a 903, its DAMN good quality).

Check how flat and small this lense is, compare the V3x (Motorola), which is very similar. It's not terrible and not good, but a 2 Mpx image just has too much noise and distortion, and missing contours.

Other than that I really think the Z560 is amazing, such a small handset featuring HSDPA is very impressive!

Well done Samsung!

    about the no. of pixels...
    Of course it doesn't make a differnce on the screen but if you want the picture to be printed or transferred to computer, the difference is HUGE!!!

      @ LG Hooker

      Uhm...no, Telstra is doing away with CDMA 1X and is replacing it with UMTS W-CDMA.

      HSDPA isn't even on trial in Australia. The only Countries I know that trial/have trialed it are Korea, Japan and T-Mobile Germany.

      HSDPA
      ======

      HSDPA is the new 3.5/4G technology based on WCDMA. It enables up to 10x the speed of regular WCDMA (in perfect conditions).
      I doubt that it will arrive in Australia for another 4 years as the current WCDMA needs to establish itself first.
      Due to infrastructure it will only be available in Metro Areas anyway. And if the end-user will even desire this new technology...well we'll see.

            LOL! I know 2mp/1.3mp makes no difference in cell phone. This is just a marketing trick to shut those people up who always complain about not having a 2mp cam..hehe.

                HSDPA?

                We haven't even got any official HSDPA networks yet, how is this supposed to come out anytime soon???

                Here in Australia they haven't even rolled out WCDMA completely *pfff*

                2 Megapixel camera means nothing, with such a small lense it's more of a "Marketing" tool so they can say it's 2Mpx.

                Overall a nice phone though, just don't get your hopes up.
