(V7800) 5.2 mega pixel camera phone from ATI/Samsung

Very interesting for me at the moment as I'm saving up for a digital SLR camera (EOS 350D) which will set me back at least £500. If camera phones are catching up this fast, I might just wait to see what is available once I've got the cash to hand.

3x optical zoom is pretty good for a phone that size too.

There is a lot more to digital photography than image resolution. You won't get the lens quality and exposure/aperture/focus control on a camera phone that you would expect on a SLR. If you're serious about your photos (and I guess you are if you're about to spend half a grand on kit), then don't waste your time with the kiddies' toy, get the SLR. :D

true, I'm not particularly tempted by this phone at all, just using it to highlight the fact that camera phones are rapidly improving

That is a impressive camera Jon, is photography your hobby or do you do it for a living?

It's a hobby for now, I've got some photo's online if you're interested?
