those pro's that work for National Geographic use DSLRs, we're talking about compact cameras/camphones(sensor size is limited).


Exactly. All this argument really applies to are consunmer level compacts. Beyond that, in cameras with large (as in dimensions) sensor sizes, more megapixels is a huge advantage

One thing which the manufactures can handle is to change the cheap CMOS sensor with a quality CCD sensor and that would make the quality much better: I compared my old w550 with a s700 and s700 had more than just alot better pictures (i know they don't havve the same camera module but still)

one example of a cheap ass sensor is the one located on the P1.... even without the green tint, it doesnt even compare to the image quality of the k750, or the k790 for that matter....

it's ok to say my phone's got 3mp camera, but in the issue of quality it's the lens that counts you dont think that a 5mm lens is gonna produce the quality that a normal camera can do. yes it looks superior from vga camera but it wont have the detail. it will blow up bigger but you zoom into that picture will break up straight away. thats why you see professional photographers with £1000 lenses because they are big so big that they dwarf the camera it self and also the bigger the sensor the more detail, a phone is gonna have a tiny sensor they are not designed for good photo's its more of a gimmick on phones to have high mp cameras they are good for a quick snap if your proper camera is not with you but not worth the time for holiday pictures...
