Do you even know what a Megapixel is? 5 MP’s is good enough for a 55 inch TV screen. So unless you plan on making a banner of a picture, then 5 MP’s is good. Moor MP’s DOES NOT mean better pictures…So no need to be annoyed about that.

Phones have no room for proper lenses. More megapixels mean bigger filesizes with no real enchangement in image quality. Megapixel race is an old marketing gimmick.

Can anyone who has received a review sample of the Galaxy Nexus please comment on the Google+ integration? In particular, are there any value-add features for ‘Hangouts’ usage?

If it’s available via Verizon Wireless, then I’d welcome the opportunity to review it myself — and highlight my own Hangouts application scenarios.

Actually, I do happen to know something about MPs, digital cameras, and the various myths associated with them. Only time will tell if the camera hardware/software is any good. And all things being equal, there are inherent advantages of a higher MP sensor – assuming you’re the type of person who needs those advantages (as you mentioned). Your comment about the DSLR vs point and shoot seems a bit dated. Yeah, there was a time when MPs for compacts seemed to be going through the roof, but your average, modern day DLSR is higher (with the caveat that I haven’t actually sat down with a spreadsheet and worked this all out). At a very minimum (assuming other things equal), 8MP will give you a larger canvas to work with and more to crop. Once they start trying to cram 12MP into their phones, I’ll start to scratch my head and I think your points will be for valid, but for now… common, keep up.

The Mobile Phone game has turned into the PC game. Every month there is new handset on the Horizon, and while I like new technology, sadly each and every new model will not only alienate consumers it will drive resale values into the mud! Droid Bionic owners are probably thinking WTF right about now. “No worries, I can sell it on Ebay for $500 because I just bought it!” Not, because savy buyers realize that the latest and greatest just went on sale.

Of course, I meant higher MPs don’t always = better images. Sorry for the typo.

It is a myth that higher MPs don’t = better pictures. After a specific point, the extra resolution simly slows down image capture and processing whiile not offering any additional photo quality unless you plan on making super large, zoomed in prints of your pictures. And if you want to do that, you shouldn’t be using a phone camera to do so anyway.

Go look at DSLR cameras versus point and shoot digital cameras. A lot of times the DSLR will have lower MP specs, because people who buy those generally don’t go off of pointless numbers when purchasing their photography equipment. Instead they focus on important things like lens quality, optons, shutter speed, image processing, etc.

If you are going to bas the phone for something at least pick something you know about.

Just because its 5mp doesn’t mean it doesn’t take great pics,if the lens is good then it is fine
