Sure, high-end optics and image sensors help ensure pictures of the highest quality, but image processors are just as important in delivering great picture quality in point-and-shoot cameras.
The new K-Touch C280 8 megapixel cameraphone not only sports an 8 megapixel CMOS sensor but backs up the pixel density with a DIGIC III image processor from Canon. The K-Touch C280 offers high-megapixel cameraphone fans up to 1600 ISO and 3x optical zoom. And, there’s even the possibility that Samsung will be providing the CMOS bits.
No word on pricing or availability, but it looks like this little gem is headed to China in the near future.

I bought the C280 2 weeks ago – marketed in Thailand under the name WellcoM W989 – and have taken a few photos with it. See the first 3 pages of my gallery.
I’ve also written a short review which is now on page 2 of the gallery. Here is the link. Drop by any time!
