Nokia N86 8MP Release Imminent

Topic:

Nokia's just announced the upcoming release of its first smartphone with a seriously awesome camera. The N86 has an impressive 8 MP shooter with a wide angle lens. It's not too scrappy in the hardware department either. A 2.6” AMOLED screen, 8 GB of internal memory, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE plus tri-band UMTS, WiFi, and aGPS make the N86 nothing to scoff at.

We don't have an exact date yet, but it's safe to say we'll see this new smartphone hit Nokia flagship stores and their online store within the next couple of weeks. Expect to see a release between the end of July and the end of August.

Canon EOS 5D 12.8MP Digital Camera Review

Topic:

Canon officially introduced the Canon EOS 5D in August of 2005. Our partners at Designtechnica have just reviewed this high-end digital camera.

Quote:
"Let's get it right on the table. The Canon EOS 5D is ridiculously expensive when compared to the 200-plus digital cameras currently available. At $3,299 for the body only, this D-SLR is for Porsche drivers who don't mind being weighed down by a 2-pound plus camera.
We're reviewing it for a couple of reasons: first the camera offers major breakthroughs that eventually will trickle down to more mainstream models (read that as more affordable). But perhaps most important is the fact we simply could! What red-blooded American wouldn't want to take a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S for a spin or to try out this over-the-top camera?"
Read the full Review of the Canon EOS 5D.

Samsung 8MP Digital Camera Phone SPH-V8200

Topic:

Samsung announces a 8MP digital camera mobile phone in Korea.

The Samsung SPH-V8200 is the world's first 8MP camera mobile phone, but is this important? Samsung released a 7MP camera phone SCH-V770 earlier this year. Clearly a 1.3MP camera phone is not that useful. The 3MP camera phones that start to come on the market I think have enough resolution. More camera features are more important than resolution at some point.

There are no close-up photos of the SPH-V8200 available yet and also features or technology specifications are not available. Samsung showed the phone at an analyst event. Read more

Topic:

Sharp announces the availabilty of a 8 Mega-Pixel Digital Camera Module for small digital cameras.

The Sharp 8MP digital camera module is not bigger than today's 4 or 6MP CCDs. This enables Camera manufacturers pretty easily create compact 8MP digital cameras without much design changes.
