Samsung announces 10 megapixel camera

Unless they get too big for themselves, this is where you can talk about the "other" brands of DSLR's: Konica Minolta / Sony, Pentax / Samsung, Olympus, Horseman, etc.

Let's see.....

Tiny sensor: tiny pixels.
6 bits/pixel (i.e. 64 shades of R/G/B) if it's anything like all the other phone cameras...

Who cares how many pixels it's got? Not me, for one.

Oh dear. How far can they go? Be a shit load easier than luggin my big ass bag around ;)
Never argue with a fool. They will drag you down to there level, then beat you with experience.
Although I gotta admitt, sometimes it makes for a good laugh ;)

Samsung have had 5 megapixel in a phone for a long time... you just had to import it in.

I'm not seeing this as all that much special, especially seeing as though the sensor is probably going to be a similar size to that of the one in the X3. :lol:

Not only that, but you can guarantee they will be jumping in all the shots with their phone, doubling peeving the wedding photographers.
