It is a fact, especialy when it comes to mobile phones that megapixels DONT make pictures better. Its actualy the sensor.
The k850s 5mp cam will be destroyed compared to a dedicated cyber-shot 5mp.

More megapixels will actualy just take up more and more memory.

So is this just a marketing scam? Quote from Sapporobaby, "more mp will make you think your getting better" when really your not.

So is this the camera phone conspiracy!? I mean looking at n95's images that strongly backs this "Scam" up because the results really disapointed.

What are your thoughts?

No its not a scam, but only if you compare cam phone with cam phone. if you think that a 5MP cam phone will beat a 5MP dedicated camera then quite honestly your deluded. but if you look at the quality of cam phones currently compared to the old VGA cam phones then there is an improvement as MP has increased.

...I can't find the page, but I remember an article on allaboutsymbian prior to n95 release where mr uber-reviewer mentions an occasion where he bumped into a carl-zeiss engineer who told him: "in a mobile phone anything over 3mp is useless" or some such thing - the cz-dude apparently refused to elaborate...and I didn't care, but I thought I mention it

I don't know. I am happy with my 5 MP CCD i-mobile 902. I posted two quick samples in the Photos section. (The brand name is SAMART.) This camera phone beats my previous digicams, including my old Sony DSC-F505 and DSC-S75. Maybe it's not fair to compare 2MP and 3MP digicams with a 5MP camphone.

Who would use 5mp in a phone tho? 3 is the best for a CMOS sensor, we saw the great pix the k800 took

It depends on what you would be using your snaps for. If you never print larger than 4x6 then anything above 2MP is overkill.

guys, true digital cams are better even if the pixels are the same. because the processor that is inside it is made for processing pictures...so it means better quality. Not like CP processor it is made for multitasking so its pic quality is kinda low if u compare it to a digi cam...

well my 1.3MP CCD S700i took better pics than my 2.0MP W900i.

i know that having owned both for a year or more

but my N95 takes awsome shots in natural daylight....

You guys forgot one of the most important parametes - lens. Due to the miniature size of the lens in phones there is a limit for colleting light reflected from the target. Therefore, more pixels donen't mean automatically better picture.
