Here are the pics : http://www.casio.co.jp/releas[....]406ca_a5407ca/a5406ca_bk_L.jpg

Casio is launching their first cell and it has a 3.2mpx camera, macro, stereo speakers, 16mb internal memory, mini SD-card, and the possibility for videorecording upto 60minutes.. It's not known yet when this phone will reach the European market, but it's supposed to be released in the summer this year..

here is the associated news item from MobileBurn

The A5406CA has 12.8MB of internal storage for storing photos and video clips. A miniSD slot allows the user to add up to an additional 128MB of storage. This is a good thing considering how large 3.2MP images are, and that the A5406CA can record video clips of up to 60 minutes in length.

Another cool thing that makes the A5406CA seem even more camera like is its ability to send its images directly to a printer over IR using the Exif v2.2 standard. Photos can be shot in a number of different resolutions, too: 2048x1536, 1600x1200, 1280x960, 640x480, 240x320, 120x160, and a 1280x320 panorama mode. The camera also sports a number of pre-defined shooting modes, including portrait, night, scenery, twilight, fireworks, and oddly enough: food.

You can find more photos of the Casio A5406CA on the following pages.

Quote:Update: Reader Patrick Michael Kane sends this interesting tidbit about Casio's multi-megapixel cameraphones:
Something that hasn't leaked outside of Japan yet, it seems. The Casio A5403CA, the first 2megapixel cameraphone w/ flash & autofocus when it was released here, takes incredibly crappy pictures.

The Japanese cameraphone otaku boards are plastered with complaints
about high shutterspeeds, grainy shots, and general poor performance.
AU has released a firmware update to try and address these issues, but
the general consensus is that it does nothing.
Whoops...Casio...

Regarding food mode - The appearance of food is very important to the Japanese and it is not considered strange for people to get cameras out in a restaurant and take pictures of the food! Its not surprising though, some of these Kaiseki meals look amazing.

Not sure what the food mode settings would actually do in terms of image processing though.

lol.. what the hell is wrong with the Japanese manufacturers naming policy.. A5406CA? Who can remember that?

I'd rather hear "K700" or "6600".
