This camera is obviously made to compete with the 40D seeing as it's around the same price, has most of the d300 tech, and comes with a kit lense for in and around the same range as the 40D body itself.
But the do not compare this with the D300. I have one, and just the 51 point A/F sensor with 3D Matrix Metering and the 922,000 pixel screen (which the D90 has as well), is enough to justify its worth over the 40D. So perhaps this camera is well priced.
And Live View isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's fun, but I'd rather scrounge down and take a shot from a low body angle rather than a low camera angle, because of the the way the Live View shuts off and because you have to double-trigger the shutter release button, in essence.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
