Motorola Z12 Zine 5-Megapixel Cameraphone Spy SHot
Posted by Jason Chen at 7:10 AM on December 20, 2007
This leaked spy-shot of an upcoming 5-megapixel Motorola/Kodak cameraphone seems to confirm the rumor that MotoZINE was the name for Motorola's upcoming multimedia phone series. According to IT168.com, the Z12 is going to be announced in Q1 2008 under the ZiNE brand, and will have either a candybar or a slider form factor and a Kodak-branded camera on the back. Other rumors have it that the phone may even have GPS or Wi-Fi in it as well. As long as Moto puts enough good parts inside (5-megapixel camera, GPS, etc.), we don't care if they stick to their tired four-letter naming scheme. [it168 via Unwired View]

Screw the megapixels or the brand name, give me decent optics. I'd take a 1-megapixel with autofocus over a standard crappy 5-megapixel non-focusing phonecam any day.

I hate to be the person who says this is fake... but it has all of the usual characteristics... I'll beleive this when I see it for real...

@mullingitover: Thank you. Everybody gets caught up in the Penis++ of ever-increasing megapixels, but not enough people are talking about the optics. A 2-3 megapixel (I'm greedier than you) shooter with a solid lens and an autofocus that doesn't take ~5 seconds to snap a picture, and I'll be happy.
At this point, I've come to the conclusion that a real flash is simply too much to ask for.
