If I could wait until the end of the year (when a butt-load of new all-in-one cellphones are released) I would just get a new phone with +2mp camera.. But I also want to record videos with decent quality... I'd like to do things like tape the camera to the bumper of my car or dash

The Sony Ericsson K800i (at least thats its name in Europe) has 3.2mp and the video quality is pretty nice. Also new Nokia N95 is a kick-ass photo/video phone.

I have the K800i and the photos are the best convenient video & still camera. It still doesnt compare to a dedicated P&S
From what I've heard the N95 isnt as you'd want it to be.

afaik Leica uses Panny bodies w/ their lenses. The diff you get from a Panny & a Leica is the software, external design and $$$.
photosites on a tiny sensor?

the sensor isn't big enough to take full advantage of the 12 million pixels..
If they could figure a way how to squeeze giant SLR-like sensors in these slim P&S, we wouldn't need 12mp+ point and shoots

from what i've read the smaller the pixels on the sensor the more "noisy" the image becomes.
a full frame sensor on a P&S would make it very expensive. like LCD & plasmas I guess prices for full frame sensors will plummet given a few years.

I played around with a friends Elph SD600. I really like the feature that automatically rotates the image when viewing them on the LCD.
Resell value of those camera's seem pretty good as most of them are going for 200+ on ebay.
I may just try and wait until the end of the year to buy a new cellphone/mp3/pointandshooter

Sounds great. I'll have to see if my friend's uncle who repairs Casio digital cameras can get me a good deal.
Can you record long videos? 30min+?
