Number of pixel on the sensor is not the only factor enable good quality image. By the way the flash is XENON. Here is a good review : http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/mobilephones/0,39051199,44808983p,00.htm Indeed Pixon 12 is a great camera-phone.

My friend suggest me to buy this phone from here: http://www.nextgenmobileshop.co.uk/phones-Samsung-M8910Pixon12 at very low price in UK.

My experience from Ericsson K800i ( 3,2 Mp -> that's 60% increase over the K750i ) is very good BUT I assume THE SENSOR SIZE on the two consequtive models IS THE SAME, and the increased detail on the 3,2 Mp K800i is counteracted by increased noise which seem to have called for heavy noise reduction: Fine lines are sharper - to a point. Even finer lines are simply lost: i.e.: textures on surfaces often lose nuances and detail. :( And to make things worse, the inevitable smearing and blur caused by the noise reduction is counteracted by a substantial sharpening. A sharpening that makes edges raw and over-contrasty. :( This jpeg-processing in the K800i is close to impossible to revert afterwards in post-processing. On the contrary, in the K750i the slight lack of the finest details is easier to handle, and a gentle sharpening to some degre compensates that. - - - - - I'm sceptical to the insane Megapixel-race, but still curious as to whether a mobilephone will finally get a camera that takes really good pictures. Why not shiftable lenses ? Like the revolver shift of the Kodak V610 http://images.pcworld.com/reviews/graphics/126100-2408p056-1b.jpg So we can finally get true telephoto !? That would mean a world of difference regarding VERSATILITY of the camera. It's obvious Samsung want us to crop the part of the HUGE 12 Mpixel wide-angle pictures, to emulate a true telephoto lens, but that JUST DON'T WORK. Period. Anyone knows if the display is the same mindblowing 3,1" - 480 X 800 (!) - as the Samsung Jet has got ? My experience from Ericsson K750i ( 2,0 Mp ) is mindblowing !
