>Smartphones aren't even close to catching up in photo quality to where cameras were years ago Yeah, I was being generous. Phones have made great strides though and the better ones have gotten to a much more acceptable quality. I don't expect SLR quality, but I'm not ready to move backwards either. I agree that the megapixel wars are ridiculous and that ultimate quality clearly boils down to much more than that single metric. OTOH, I disagree that the 1.9 move will produce better pics, though I don't disagree that it's possible. It's just that you'll still have the same cheap sensor and lens tech, only now paired with lower resolution. My bet is that it's a solid step backwards.
