Samsung unveils record-breaking 200 megapixel mobile phone sensor [View all]

This technology is way cool! It shifts from 200 mp to 50 or 12 depending on light levels. It does this by clumping pixels into groups of 4 or 16 to act as a single pixel. But like the Cajun asked about a thermos that keeps hot things hot and cold things cold, "How do it know?"

Not a fan of pixel count myself--I've made great 13x19 prints off a 5 mp Nikon Point-n-shoot--'cause IMO anything over 10 mp is just bragging rights and has little to do with image quality.

It's still the PICTURE, not the PIXELS!
