From left to right: LG KC910, Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot C905and Samsung innov8
The high-end, 8-megapixel camera phones war looks set to escalate soon in Singapore. This month should see the launch of the LG KC910, while Sony Ericsson is expected to step into the ring with its Cyber-shot C905 soon, before year-end. They join the Samsung innov8, launched here last month.
Sweet? I have not laid hands on the innov8 yet, so dunno how good it is. But for these phones to replace my regular camera, the aging 8.6 megapixel Leica D-Lux 2, they better have a snappy user interface, fast write times, not too jarring noise artifacts, no shutter lag and be great at indoor shots without flash. These are typical archilles heels of today’s crop, and are many mid-end digicams’ failings too.

Agree with Albert on this. Megapixel count is not everything. But it seems to be the best “objective” measure for many consumers. The proof is still in the pictures a camera takes… and save for SE’s Cybershot phones, I haven’t been wow’d too much by other models.
Huge megapixel does not equate good or better photos. Unfortunately cell phone companies are employing this hype to cash-in on unsuspecting consumers with sky high prices on these phones.
