Casio unveiled a eight megapixel camera phone in Japan with a 3.1" OLED display and a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels.
Let that sink in for a second... the very same 384,000 pixels on a display smaller than the 3.8-inch LCD heralded by the Touch HD. The camera features a wide-angle lens, 9-point auto focus, face detection, anti-shake, and a YouTube video mode that records VGA video at 30fps to microSD. All this in a Japanese-only flip measuring 110 x 50 x 17.4 ~ 22-mm when it launches in early November.

My friends who visit from Saudi Arabia every summer brought along a 10MP camphone. This is nothing special. Though I cannot remember the make/model, it was a very wide known brand.

Even with 8 megapixels it will still take garbage pics. Just you will get huge garbage pics.
I agree with Marin. The phone looks very nice in my opinion but its a phone not a camera and the cliche saying goes for photography as well, quality not quantity.

whats with OCNers and cats?!
considering that casio makes more discrete digital cameras than phones, i'm thinking the pictures will be more than a higher res.

i'd be more worried about whose firmware they use for the phone functions

You'll be surprised with Japanese phones.
Most of that stuff doesn't come to the rest of the world, but Japanese phones are technologically the best.

Besides, bigger is still arguably better as when you downsize to a low resolution it will look much better, and it could even look better than a picture taken at a low resolution.

I agree, to a degree. Yes quality over quantity, but I need the quantity to be at least 3-4 MPs.
I'm happy with the size of the pictures I get with my cell (3MP - Samsung Flipshot) but the quality is just subpar. The colors are not as sharp and there is no image stabilization whatsoever.

Doesn't matter if it takes garbage pictures at all. At least for me it only matters that the technology is progressing.

There was a few mice in the server and a few of the OCNers took it upon the themselves to get rid of the infestation

japanese phones actually dont produce horribly crappy shots
my sharp only has 3.2mp and the shots are so much better than my sony ericsson with 3.2mp

The 1980's Casio watches were the **** though. I remember having a red one when I was a kid.
