Wa overkill ar.

[tarui04]

oh my.. can imagine some dslr owners complaining this camera phone has more/equal MPs compared to their cameras.

then again MP isnt everything

[FreezinDevil]

Unless they can chuck a reasonable sized sensor inside that phone, those pixels would just produce noise and be useless at night without the LED flash.

[halfhuman]

Pixon owner here, and no, it isnt overkill, yes it has LED flash

[hangman]

What the dmg?

[[K]EwELL]

but i think cybershot still the best... and satio is gonna kick some ass FOR AWHILE.

[ORiN]

I thought Satio is already out in Europe already? It's a 12-megapixel too with xenon flash and LED flash for night videos.

I think 12mp camera phones will only be as good as a 5-6mp camera.

[tensor]

12mp sensor has quite abit of interesting challenges to overcome.
- enhanced image processor, needed to process the additional data + correcting pixels defects on the sensor itself. (its reasonable to assume cheap CMOS sensor is bound to contain defective pixels.) + dealing with defects that is caused by the heat from the mobile.

So is the D40 as small as a pixon?

Really bit of overkill for a hp to hv 12megapixel.
