Nice! I wonder what the retouching budget was. Box could make (even MORE of) a killing if this became a trend!

Clever the way they used the errrr, pose & blue background to keep your mind off the crappy shot and hollywood re-touch.

I remember my Contax T2 - I shot a wedding on it once after the photographer no- showed (I was a guest)
It took great pictures - if you wanted a 35mm lens and on camera flash
It even had the same sensor as my nikon F3
Didnt make me sell my F3 though
Didnt make nikon go bancrupt either
These things are great !

A friend of mine did a campaign for a point and shoot digital camera a year or two back, it was to show the ability of the camera to work in low light and grab the shot. I can't remember the exact number of how many jewels of light were used (it was many) and it was shot on a hassy with film.

I didn't know Sony was making cellphones. Just as well - I bought a HTC Touch Pro with a "3 mp" camera, and looking closely at the results, and comparing to the Kodak DC260 circa 1998 (1.5 mp), the detail from the HTC's camera suggests about half a megapixel at best. A really terrible camera.

sony ericsson actually makes pretty good camera phones....i had one of theirs about 2 years ago...it was the first one with AF (the lens actually moves!)...i believe it was 3mpix...actually pretty nice prints....others have come out with 8 and 10mpix cellpones but the quality just sucks.....the SE ones really aren't bad at all...for snaps absolutely useable....
i don't have a problem at all believing that this one with 8mpix, prof. lighting and a ton of retouching can produce a decent full page ad....
i am perfectly fine with my iphone...
i just thought this was pretty interesting considering all the discussions going on right here right now and michael's own findings with the g10....
the point is not what provides ultimate quality but what provides the quality i need at the speed/size/convenience i need....
