More MPx is just not too important to worry about in a phone camera, we don´t have to expect professional quality level and for the regular use it is enough.
Right now there are good tech to make better image quality from tiny sensors, BSI sensor, image processors, software, etc...
The smartphone makers have to recovery old designs like the Sony-Ericsson Cyber-Shot line, the Samsung M8920 in a new slim designs. Those phones offered zoom lenses and even 12MPx in a not too small sensor and Xenon flash.
Zoom lens, faster dedicated processor, bigger buffer, xenon flash and dedicated buttons... that will make the smartphone to take the P&S market and they will be really interesting.
any chance this could have RAW image support? my wife has been bugging me for a DSLR and i don't want to buy on
RAW? It's a picture of sushi, fer crine out loud! Doesn't get much RAWer than that!
Sorry, but RAW support doesn't turn a little device like a phone camera into a DSLR. Though I guess with a Canon F-mount and a couple of L-class lenses...
Can you actually get original Japanese-style sushi in California? Everything nowadays seems to be spider rolls and suchlike.
Okay camera experts, what does this mean for taking photos? 25% larger lens?
I'm no camera expert but I reckon this means iPhone5 = better pictures than iPhone4... Although they need to fix the iPhone4 flash photography. Not the best especially in the evening/night.
This also means that if you want "good" pictures get a real DSLR and drop the cash for a decent lens, especially prime lenses. The first time I saw DSLR shots from prime lenses (meaning they are fixed e.g. 50mm not "zoom" lenses) my jaw dropped.
My layperson's 2 cents. I kinda don't care at the moment because I've caved and gone all hipster with my iPhone photography:
