Say what you want...

I've had many Camera Phones and the smaller the lenses, the more noise. The GX30, Z500 and S700 all produced nice pictures. The K750i and W800i are nice too, but nothing compared to the 903SH which has a 7-lense CCD sensor.
And all of these "Cameras" don't compare in quality to any digital camera with bigger and simply better optics.

We'll see what the future brings!

you people are ignorants, of course the number of pixels matter, have you compared a photo taken with a 1.3 vs. a 2 the latter looks more real

To Skater42: You're missing the point. I only addressed the person because he/she didn't know why Samsung would bother with 2mp camera when you can't differentiate it from vga camera. In addition, you cannot just judge on phone's size and say "oh...to small! must have a disapointing camera!" Although I haven't checked this phone's camera, there are phones in Korea that's about this size and produce awesome pictures. So yeah...

@ LG Hooker

Yeah, the 850Mhz frequency will replace the 800/900Mhz CDMA 1x. The whole debate the rural people spit is nonesense. WCDMA 850 will have nearly the same reach than the previous CDMA 1x, just 3x the speed.

I don't know whether they will get rid of the 2100Mhz, it might just run dual-mode like GSM 900/1800.

By the way:
===========

HSDPA is backward-compatible with WCDMA, so this phone should be able to receive WCDMA services. Can't promise, but that's what the specs say.

Awesome!

My mistake the new 3G Telstra will use will be based on a 850mhz system. The current 3G in australia is 2100mhz

Telstra is also doing away with the current 2100mhz WCDMA 3G also, and is replacing it with the 1900mhz 3G which they are also doing in the states.

@ Jason,

the issue is this: SIZE doesn't matter. CMOS and CCD sensors of THIS small size can be 4Mpx and still have the worst noise and distortions.

Even the Sharp 903, which is damn good, is having trouble with low-light conditions because of the relative small size of the sensor (I own a 903, its DAMN good quality).

Check how flat and small this lense is, compare the V3x (Motorola), which is very similar. It's not terrible and not good, but a 2 Mpx image just has too much noise and distortion, and missing contours.

Other than that I really think the Z560 is amazing, such a small handset featuring HSDPA is very impressive!

Well done Samsung!

about the no. of pixels...
Of course it doesn't make a differnce on the screen but if you want the picture to be printed or transferred to computer, the difference is HUGE!!!

@ LG Hooker

Uhm...no, Telstra is doing away with CDMA 1X and is replacing it with UMTS W-CDMA.

HSDPA isn't even on trial in Australia. The only Countries I know that trial/have trialed it are Korea, Japan and T-Mobile Germany.

HSDPA
======

HSDPA is the new 3.5/4G technology based on WCDMA. It enables up to 10x the speed of regular WCDMA (in perfect conditions).
I doubt that it will arrive in Australia for another 4 years as the current WCDMA needs to establish itself first.
Due to infrastructure it will only be available in Metro Areas anyway. And if the end-user will even desire this new technology...well we'll see.
