Samsung's new 8Mp PHONE

My dSLR offers 10MP but I end up shooting at 6MP anyway - it's more than enough for me. Heck if my camera offered it I'd shoot 4MP. There is hardly a difference, and I crop very rarely these days. It's all in the lens.

The lens on that phone wouldn't be anywhere near that of quality dSLR glass, so sure, you'd be getting eight whole million pixels but what those pixels display can't match that of a dSLR no matter what the resolution. Also, 8MP on such a small sensor would most likely just make it prone to more digital noise (unless they have some super smart software working in the background).

So I'm not weeping just yet, if I were you with that K100D I wouldn't be either 🙂

All you DSLR users with less than 8Mp cameras, read and weep! 😉 🙄

"The 13.8mm-thick phone’s camera has a 16x zoom and a dual-power LED flash, which is teamed together with face and smile detection, and “advanced shake reduction”. Video capture and playback’s also been confirmed."

That's it, I'm selling my 10D; it just can't compete anymore! 🙄
 
DSLR killer app

That's it! I'm fed up with this useless DSLR! (Slams 5DMkII to the floor in anger.) Canon, Nikon -- are you listening? Your next generation of cameras MUST BE ABLE TO MAKE PHONE CALLS.

I have this funny image of an SLR held to one's head while making a phone call. 😀
 
This reminds me of the time I wanted a new cell phone, and the salesman offered me a phone with a 5Mp camera and claimed it could take better pictures than any camera I had.

Long story short: It couldn't. 😛

Of course! He hyped so much about the camera (and implied my camera was crap) that I asked him to establish a non-scientific comparison: Take a portrait of the store owner (a friend of mine) across the room.

Poor lad... 🙄

That's great, and the answer I was hoping to hear. 🙂

Pixels doesn't equal quality. Do you really not believe that?

I had a 6.1 megapixel P&S by Sony that took fine pictures but then stepped up to a 6.1 megapixel dSLR by Pentax and it took far better pictures. Megapixels aren't everything.
