Yeah I agree.
The detail picked up in the centre of that flower is amazing, and that bumblebee pic should be uploaded onto the esato photo gallery, IMHO. Great shot!
The cat pic also came out really well, considering the dark background in the shot. Impressive.

I have uploaded the cat pic to the gallery. If you guys could have a look at the full size image, i think the quality is superb on that one.

The new LG GD900 Crystal has a glass, see-through sliding keypad:

@ rhino:
A new firmware for the 5800 has just been launched:

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia[....]w_firmware_update-news-849.php

It's quite a significant update, performance-wise etc.
There's even camera mods in this f/w update, such as a 'burst' mode and the ability to take pics with the secondary camera.

@ Jojo:
Normally the 1200 would be cost more, but the price of these 2 was pretty close due to the 600 being the limited race homologation (ZX-6RR) model, as opposed to the standard ZX-6R.

I have seen the update, and yet, I will not update since mobipocket doesnt work on the new firmware. Am going to wait and see if the newest works with mobipocket, then i WILL update. Mobipocket is VEERRRRYYY important to me.

TO tell the truth, I Cant wait to update the firmware.


ANYWAY, here is another visitor we had at home today, 20CM from where the spider visited the other day

Again good detail picked up in that pic, particularly on the wings.
A slightly darker setting on the cam/ picture brightness will make those details even more evident. Like the N73 I used to have, it may benefit from this before taking pics taken in good lighting conditions, as on standard settings it can have a tendency to sometimes (slightly) over-expose.
Having said that, the bumblebee pic's exposure is pretty much perfect IMHO!

Gotta be one of the best 3.2mp cam modules out there.
