Default [Q] After lack of Galaxy Nexus, better to get the SGSII?

So, after being a bit disappointed by the recent announcement (and 5MP camera) I think I will just sell my Nexus S and get an international SGSII. Better camera and available now, and will have ICS ROMs soon.

Anyone else feel the same way?

not for me , as matter of fact , Pixel is NOT most important characteristic to the camera , have you seen a video that compares iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus of shutter speed?

http://v.youku.com/v_showMini/id_XMz...Njc2_ft_6.html

look at shutter speed , Galaxy Nexus took 6 pictures while 4S just took 3 ...

shutter speed, imaging ...etc are also important

otheriwse , for exmple 15 MP with dozen seconds of shutter or 5 MP with half second of shutter, which one do you choose?

beside , i don't think human eyes can see much different between image made by 5MP or 8MP

if you really like to take picture , then why don't you buy a professional camera?

Folks, I get the megapixel race isn't the end all.

I'll probably wait on the Galaxy Nexus but I wanted to get your thoughts.

And I have a DSLR, but have trouble fitting it in my pocket. So, I want the best possible camera on a phone for when I am out and about and not wanting to lug a huge beast of a camera with me.

Have you even seen what that 5mp camera can do?!?!?! It is quite impressive! Better than the iPhone 4s 8mp that's for sure.

More pixel does not equal better camera. Let's stop with this silliness.

Well, judging from the blurry grainy shots on Engadget and thisismynext.com, color me not impressed by the Galaxy Nexus' camera.

I mean, yeah, the camera has zero lag and takes turrrbo photos, but if they all look grainy/out of focus/blurry, I care not.

Just IMO, per usual internet rules.
