Sadly, p&s sensors are shrinking to the size of mobile phone sensors. According their “test”, the A620 is also a better choice than a 350D, probably the best of the “test” group. Who needs resolution when you can just dial up the sharpening, anyway?

BTW, here’s a geeky tech link with details of some of Sony’s recent sensors for mobiles:

It appears that some of the latest phone cams are using sensors of a similar size to that of the average P&S, so the results from this new Samsung are not at all surprising to me… And my experience is that a DSLR with a wide zoom can be matched (or bettered…) by a decent P&S for low-ISO wide-angle scenic shots.

Personally, this year I’ve decided to ditch the DSLR for travel/social snaps, partly after the annoyance of lugging one around last summer… For me, it’s just not worth the hassle, and I’m happy with the results I’m getting from my P&S cams.

Wow, Seriously! I think Canon should self destruct itself for producing low level product for the past 2 years!

Thanks Mis. I for one have been looking for a better camera phone. I was considering the new 3mp I phone that just came out, but I am not impressed by the images that have come out of my daughters (she was one of the million who got one when they came out) phone. I think my blackberry’s 2 mp is better and that is nothing to brag about. I will read the posted article and see. I know that Samsung makes some pretty good stuff, so we will see.
Thanks again and keep writing!

Indeed it is the consumers who loose. I wish the megapixel race was dead and gone, but it isn’t. And that is the really sad part of this whole thing.

Makes me wonder, if by the same logic you could claim that this phone in question is twice as good as my 6 megapixel Pentax DSLR.
