So guys, if you think this photo isn't good at all, why don't you take your camera phone, and take a shot for a fast moving object like this man jump with skateboard, and see what happen in the photo?
It may be better than every other cameraphone on the market, but it's still crap quality - as others have said, if they used the same level of technology to make a 2MP sensor, the quality would be significantly better. (You can gain most but not all of that improvement by resizing the image down, which does make it look pretty acceptable. It will probably still suck in low light.)
Or in other words: yes nice phone camera, but 8MP is still a bullshit number (and to be fair, everyone knew that already).
Unfortunately because there is no other way of reporting picture 'quality' to consumers, this is going to continue ad infinitum. (Maybe somebody could come out with a way of calculating a number that measures actual image quality, or at least key aspects of it? That'd be extremely difficult to do, though - and then you'd have to try convincing companies to use it when they already have a nice convenient number that they can increase every year.)
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
