In part 1 of this series, Steve Litchfield looked at exposed camera glass on some phone models and investigated whether scratches really make a difference. In part 2, he investigated the pros and cons of LED/dual-LED/Xenon flashes in camera phones - does Xenon or dual LED flash make that much difference? In this, part 3, he investigates the fabled 'Megapixel myth' with an objective eye. Part 4, next week, will focus on the difference between good and poor optics (at the same camera resolution). Note that we're also planning on adding some extra technical camera-related articles later on, courtesy of AAS regular Dirk Snoyt, plus an 'Ultimate S60 camera phone' review feature.
