*To both replies*
Yeah', I know, totally agree. The eye can only see so much detail (I *think* it's like around 330dpi, as best as they can guess such a thing), and unless you're blowing up the image to the size of a building, it's pointless. Even more so when only viewed on a screen, such as on a website. Plus I can't even imagine what the filesizes are.

However, I've just had a thought, using it to create a digital zoom (as in, a 41mpx at 1x zoom, you could grab 30mpx of that and it would be like a #x zoom.).... so it's not as bullshitty as first thought.

But yeah', CCD and lens is where it's at. Is it me, or has Carl Zuse gone shit for mobile phone cams these days? My Lumia 800 is a shit camera, but the last one I had years ago on a SE phone was ace at the time.
