Does Verizon offer a camera phone with a resolution higher then 1.3 megapixels?

Overseas they offer phones with 7 megapixels! What's the deal, why don't we have these phones?
What bothers me is that it's not that we're behind. That problem doesn't exist, because The United States doesn't manufacture any cell phones. ALL of our phones are from over-seas. They choose what to release for our carriers to sell. It's ridiculous.



Answer
When I last checked, Verizon Wireless carries only one phone w/ a camera w/ higher res than 1.3 Mpxl, and that's the Samsung a990 (3.0 Mpxl). It's pricey, even w/ rebates and New Every Two applied.

I think that most US consumers are still trying to figure out that their cellphone can make phone calls and do txt msgs. Only a few people care about what you talk about. Besides, a lot of people already have digital cameras that support high res, so the market for cameraphones w/ such high res, and the technology to support it, is still a ways off in the US.

It still comes down to the carriers making money off the largest group of people, while enticing the bleeding edge types w/ high-tech stuff. The bleeding edge crowd will have to wait, but probably not for long.

is a 1.3 megapixel camera better than a 2.0 megapixel camera? i'm talking about cell phone cameras?

Answer
I would expect a 2 megapixel camera to be better than a 1.3 megapixel camera given that everything else was equal.
however both are quite small. megapixels refers to the size / capacity of the image sensor... 1.2 million pixels ro 2 million pixels.. each pixel senses light in one colour..

its not just the size of the sensor that counts. the quality of the lens (this affects the amount of light let into the lens) the quality of the image processing hardware inside the camera/phone.

as a general rule a bigger sensor should be better, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if you could get a better engineered camera with a smaller sensor that will out perform a cheap as chips 2 mp camera.

ultimately if 'all' you are doing is taking photos of your mates then it doesn't really matter. it will matter if say you are taking holiday photos of objects a long way away, or if you want to print those images onto some paper. they will however work fine on any screen

if you wanted 'photographs' then you would know already that a 5Mp camera is around the smallest sensor to take general purpose images (images that can be manipulated or tinkered with as required). %mp is the basic size that you can get good quality A4 (10" x 8") images printed on

but if you want 'snaps' ie images that refresh your memory of the things you or you mates dis say on holiday then any camera.. the one thats to hand.. is the right camera
