I Saw alot of pictures on the panasonic thread...and for the GD88/GD87 picture's...is it really that small?(passport photo size) or can you make it bigger?
if it is that small(biggest size is the passport size) is there any flex/firmware to make it take bigger pictures? etc? thx

There are very few phones which take photos much bigger. Some of the very newest Nokias take VGA and the Sharp GX30 is 1MP. The screen is only passport photo size: if you want the photos for displaying somewhere other than on phone screens, get a separate digital camera.

Actually if you have a newer X70 (with firmware A30 or above) it can take pictures 4x the size of the original (twice as wide by twice as high). It's much better for transferring to PC.
(BTW the Motorola V600 also takes VGA pictures - I'm not a phone nerd, I work in Mobile Sales I have to know these things lol)

pixels are fixed for GD88, 132x176
if u use png or high quality jpeg, it doesn't look bad when you zoom in

actually gd86a (newer version of gd88) camera quality has been improved from the gd88 (11kilo to 30kilo), therefore i'm not too sure about the gd88 photo quality.

what does VGA mean and stand for?
132x176 picture size is so small...other like V300/V600 has bigger picture doesn't it?
so there is no way for the picture size to be bigger than 132x176?
Posted by: kurapica
132x176 is fixed, can't go over that unless u enlarge it
check out the size of the picture files in v300 (bigger than 132x176) comparing to the gd88 (high quality), they are almost the same

oh oops.. i think i got mixed up... if you take the picture and send/transfer it to your comp will it be bigger?
if not how do you enlarge it?

Wow
here is a VERY brief lesson in camera resolution. first of all there are perhaps 20 or more phones currently available that have VGA 640X480 resolution cameras. The cameras currently used in cells today are CMOS imagers, not CCD imagers like are found in a standard digi cam.
the max resolution you will get from a phone is whatever the native resolution of that imager is, it will not get bigger if you transfer it to the pc. of course you will have a larger screen to view on so it is possible the image will appear larger because the small phone screen was not physically as large as the photo is so the image is shown in smaller scale.
you need a 1.3MP imager at the least to take a decent photo that can be printed and/or edited/cropped on a pc.
as for cheap camera phones that have a VGA imager, you can get pretty decent images to view on your monitor but not very good for printing.
phones to come with MegaPixel: SONY S700 , MOTOROLA MPx MPx100 MPx220 , nokia 7610, samsung and sharp have devices as well. panasonic will be to market late but they will make it to market

it won't get bigger, the picture IS STILL 132x176
to enlarge it, use any drawing/painting software, but the picture would get blurry as it becomes bigger (common sense, right? )

Thought there would be some sort of Firm/Flex to make it take bigger pics...××××..
does the V300 takes bigger pics?
and what does VGA mean?

Video Graphics Array. It's the standard used in computer displays (or was). Basically for the purpose of phones it means a resolution of 640x480.
