Adding more pixels is easy. (For non-trivial values of easy,
admittedly...)
But producing a LENS system to justify it, and give a decent image -
that's hard.
The Canon Kiss/Rebel uses canon SLR lenses and just about produces a
decent image.
Camera-phones? Pha! - they outgrew their lenses months ago. There
really is a physical size limitation here. Some things can be "Uncle
Clive'd" - made smaller and smaller and smaller. Memory, cpus, power
supplies, megapixelage of a sensor on a given size... Others reach a
limiting size : Keyboards, screens and lenses being three.
The ONLY thing that counts is final image quality. Advertising
megapixelage is like advertising megaherz on a CPU - only the most
naive care - it's the balanced SYSTEM that counts.
With that in mind, which phone currently produces the best images?
