Could a camera phone compare to a camera?

[stsinner]

I'm working with Motorola on a new handset they've brought out, the ZN5. It's the first camera phone to feature Kodak Image Technology, but how do images from a phone compare with images taken by a camera?

Kodak isn't actually good Image Technology. Does Kodak even make a serious camera?

Has anyone looked at the Samsung 10 megapixel cel phone? It certainly looks like any point and shoot camera on one side and a phone on the other side.

Wow-that is neat. From the article: " It's never gonna come anywhere close to the US or Europe so nuzzle up to your monitor real close-like and take in this beauty.

interesting, which takes us back to the old saying, "who is firing the shutter".

it is amazing that a cell phones have come so far. Wonder how these images would look at larger sizes?

i am not trying to flame anything , but it would never cross my mind to use a cell phone for a photo, too many years of traditional work i suppose!

Not good spam mind you. The people who are now searching for that model camera phone are going to hit threads like this with a resounding THEY'RE CRAP. :lmao:

IMO, it's the artist, not the camera the makes a nice photo.

I take issue with people who say that. It's only partly true. Yes, the artist is necessary to make a good photo, but you do need a capable machine to capture it too. It's 50/50.

I've seen many debates on the photoshop forums along the same lines "It's the artist, not the tools". I then say to them "Alright, do the post work on your photos in MsPaint. Tell me how that goes"

It's 50/50. Artist/tools.

EDIT: Now, with that said, I'd like to give you all this disclaimer: There are 'pointnshoots' out there that do a fine job at capturing tones and resolution; I'm not necessarily saying that they are garbage and the SLR is the only way to go. I still like my little old Minolta Dimage A2.

Exactly. Best chef in the world can't make chicken soup out of chicken ... well ... you get it.

specific tools allow the creative eye to accomplish certain feats of skill.

having the most expensive tool on the market doesn't take the place of creative ability.

I know some folks who have incrediable technical knowledge and their photos suck.


sorry about the underline, this just started and i am cluess as to why

They need to make a cellphone with interchangeable lenses...

Yes, preferably with a Nikon mount so I can use all my lenses! Like this:
