The entire package is 9 mm thick and features a 3 Megapixel sensor with autofocus and 3x optical zoom. In addition the new camera is also supposed to be more shock resistant and consume less power than current high end modules. While Samsung's new camera uses more traditional technology, Taiwan's Creative Sensor is set to commercialize liquid lenses. The company is set to produce autofocus cameras for phones based on Varioptic's technology next year as well"</i><br /><br />Hopefully they are improving image quality as well. While a 3 Megapixel camera would be fun to have on my phone, if it produced the same subpar quality images as the current cameras we have in handsets today, then I really wouldn't see a point to having it there at all. Then again, I'm a sucker for new technology. Bring on the camera phones!
