LG today announced the KC 780 Camera Phone after it was leaked earlier. The KC 780 contains a 8 Mega Pixel Camera & is just 13.9 mm thick, which is quite a feat considering it contains such a high resolution camera in it. It is the slimmest handset till now to have a 8 Mega Pixel Camera as the Samsung M8000 Pixon is 14.8 mm thick. Apart from being a digital camera, it also doubles up as a camcorder as it can shoot in Wide VGA at a resolution of 720 x 480 at 30 Frames per Second. The KC 780 also has other features like ace and smile detection, beauty shot, image stabilization and ISO 1600.
The KC 780 has a 2.4 inch display with support of 262 colors & QVGA (240 x 320) resolution. It has the latest Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, 140 MB Storage & MicroSD card slot. However it doesn't have support for 3G or HSDPA so the only choice for data transfers is EDGE. The KC 780 will be also be able to stream video over it's bluetooth connection so it can also double up as a wireless web cam.
The Kc 780 is the second 8 Mega Pixel Shooter from LG after the KC 910 Renoir. It's main competition is from the other 8 Mega Pixel phones like the Sony Ericsson C905, Samsung i8510 Innov8 & Samsung M8000 Pixon. The tri-band (900/1800/1900) handset will start shipping as early as November this year at a price which is yet to be announced.
