It seems Motorla will market phones in 4 categories, ROKR (music phones), ZOOM (including 8 megapixel with optical zoom), RAZR and Multi Q (business phones with full qwerty keyboard)

8 megapixels?
Well I suppose Moto does have a lot of ground to make up. The year after next we'll be expecting 10 megapixels plus the way things are going.
Posted by masseur
isn't optical zoom the thing that sounds out with that rather than the 8 megapixels?
Posted by leeboy13
is it just me or is that wayyyy too much?!?!?! i mean id even say the 5mega pixel SE is way too much...
2mega is more than adequate for a mobile is it not? this is just gettng redic!!! and not only that its making us spend more on memory sticks etc.... con if you ask me....
other than that... all im gonna say is those pics better not have been taken by a motorola otherwise - well..... LOL!

The new moto cams are being produced under the kodak brand name so I guess they're going to be good

Whoever thought Moto is dead is in for a shock!

a Moto Genghis??
Please tell me that is only a working name...

yip,motorola has awoken and is fighting back.they in such a hurry that they've even forgotten about 5mp being their next step...
Posted by Brightspark
8MP is MUCH too much. 5MP is too much. who cares what the resolution is like. it's only the quality that matters and nothing else. its betetr to have a good quality 3.2MP camera than an equally good quality 8MP camera. think about it - what use is the extra size other than cropping and printing? a downside is that the file size of the 8MP pics will be significantly larger, with little or no practical gain.
there really isn't any need for it. it's just a marketing ploy and nothing more.
Mr&Mrs Gullible go to CPW to buy a phone for their little johnny.
CPW: hello sir. maam. how can i help?
Mr Gullibles: hi. i'm looking for a phone for my son, but i don't know where to start looking.
CPW: well, we now have this excellent new moto recently added to our stock, and it features a stunning 8 megapixel camera
Mr Gullibles: hmmmm. i'm not too sure what that means in real terms. how does it compare with other cameras out there? i know our johnny would like a nice camera.
CPW: well, most cameraphones on the market feature a 3.2MP camera, with a few offering 5MP. this phone is a massive step up from all those currently on the market. so if you compare it with an 8MP, the 8MP phone produces significantly higher quality pictures on account of its much greater resolution.
Mr Gullible: *turns to his wife* so what do you think then, Peach? it certainly sounds like we've found the best camera on the market from what the salesman says. if the salesman says its good it must be good. these people know more about cameras and phones than we'll ever know. i'm sure johnny would like it.
Mrs Gullible: the price seems ok. ok, love, lets take it.

X Pxl is the name of the phone, the Skarven is 8MP.

Aren't we supposed to be all happy that Motorola come up with SKARVEN, an 8 megapixel smartphone. Whether 8 megapixel is too much or not, still another great technological leap.
I think some of the people here are just bitter because their beloved cellphone manufacturer won't be releasing a similar phone anytime soon. Will they ever release one? HaHa....

Forget the 8 M pixels, i think it's the optical zoom feature on this camera that makes it stand out from the crowd. Isn't it about time
came out with an optical zoom as standard on high end phones, it would be great on the K850i, which would become the K850z.

lol....honestly..some people dont get it.
8mp is a gimmick...and a huge battery and space hog. nothing more
unless your going to have a mobile phone with a much much bigger lens, then even 3.2mp is more than enough for a phone..
go buy a bloody camera if you want a proper 8mp shot, as you sure aint going to get it from a motorola phone...or any other mobile phone for that matter
Posted by driftmania
What's with the camera phone hating? Maybe people don't like lugging a phone + an 8MP camera in their pockets and they'd rather have an all-in-one device. No shit it won't be as good as dedicated cams, but it's decent. And it'd probably be cheaper as well. Phone+Dedicated MP3 Player+ Dedicated 8MP camera is gonna cost a hefty as hell penny.

Looks photoshopped, just look at the conflicting design logic on the xenon Flash module on the top edge of the sliding back part. some people around the net named this thing Z12 now would it be UIQ? hopefully

8 mega pixel camera..and all the other coolest features...optical zoom..the whole thing is really exciting. motorola has sure all the necessary grounds to keep it ahead and i am sure the way they are heading it once they will reach something that we did not even think..any way..that a whole lot of storyy. but dont you guys think it is adequate..8mP is way too much...!

More Motorola handset leaks: Moto W388, Moto W396 and Moto VA76r
"It’s amazing how bad one company can make you feel about its products. First, they almost throw away their mobile phone divison out of desperation. Thankfully, they made the wiser decision and just restructured the business to make the software department work more closely with the hardware department. But they went at it again by revealing that their forthcoming phones are nothing out of the ordinary, except maybe for the 5 megapixel Zine ZN5 and the Symbian-powered Zine ZN12. And what do we have here today? Why, more depressing news of course.
Instead of working harder and churning out new phones that will best its predecessors, Moto seems happy enough to just toss old designs and mix the colors on their handsets. And now we have two more low-end models to throw into the mix. The Motorola W388 and Motorola W396."

Finally, some good quality live pics of the 5 mega pixel Motorola ZN5. The phone definitely looks better than previous pics. Enjoy!

... is that LED beside the XENON flash there ?
... Moto did all the right things on this one - USB, 3.5 mm, cam cover ...
Posted by giancito
should be for red eyes? or a mini led to record video?
the design is not very pleasant wing views but at least now has its first model with chamber 5megapixel and xenon flash
Posted by giancito
Loads more Motorola ZN5 live pics

The word "RAW" in this screenshot looks interesting. Could this be real RAW unprocessed sensor output?

While Motorola has lost marketshare, their new upcomming phones are really looking good.
I myself am using a Z8, great phone for its price.
