If our memory wasn’t so addled by drink, we would be able to remember a relevant fable or myth at this point. Something along the lines of the boy who cried wolf. But instead of crying wolf the boy spent all his time trying to make something he owned bigger and bigger in the silly belief that what he was doing was making it better, when in fact all he was doing was making it bigger. And also making it dangerously close to collapse. And the point in this failed memory exercise would be to prove some kind of point about why you shouldn’t be all that excited about the new Samsung Pixon 12, the world’s first camera to be sporting an obscene 12 megapixels.
But why, you ask, why does bigger not equal better?
Well, A-ha! we should be able to say. Just think about the boy who ***** with his *****. Or the girl who tried to hard to ***** with her *****.
As it is, all we can say is: trust us, there’s absolutely no reason why this 12MP camera will take better pictures than an 8MP or even 5MP camera on another phone. Fair enough, Samsung have probably put quite a bit of effort into making the camera good as well as big in the pixel department, but we just think this whole thing smacks of outdoing, or aiming to impress and blind the public with meaningless stats. And yes, we did get out of bed on the wrong side this morning.
And to be fair, there’s a raft of other things going on with the Pixon 12 (check out this Samsung Pixon 12 review for more details) but their camera claims have just wound us up something rotten. Have a squizz at this video of the Pixon 12 in action if you’re already sick of our ranting.
