Five Megapixels Camera Phones This Year!

"LG Economic Research Institute (LGERI) predicts camera phones will eat into 40 percent of the digital camera market by 2008, reports The Korea Times. Recent rapid advances in camera phones are causing the Institute to be more "optimistic" about problems for the digital camera marketplace. The organization thought two megapixels would be the ceiling for camera phones, but the Institute admitted it was wrong since three megapixel handsets already have been introduced."
The article further reports that South Korean handset vendors plan to introduce five megapixel camera phones this year. The competition is supposed to stiffen between digital cameras and camera phones in the short term with digital cameras still ahead, however mid range cameras are soon to be dominated by camera phones. There isn't anything radically new here, but it is interesting to hear that 5MP camera phones are on their way.
