VX8100 is a downgrade?

FAUguy

External Display:
VX8000: 262K / VX8100: 65K

Camera:
VX8000: CCD with Macro mode / VX8100: CMOS without Macro mode

I'd think that LG would put a QVGA on the VX8100 (like the CDM9900) and keep the external display 262K.
The VX8000 takes the best pictures out of all of Verizon's current phone line-up. This is because it has a CCD camera and good lens.
So why does LG downgrade the VX8100 to a CMOS?

Also look at the weight. 4.16 oz for the 8100 vs. 3.88 for the 8000. The new 8100 is smaller (in heighth) which is definitely good, but a little thicker (probably b/c of the mini-SD). Interesting that my Audiovox 8940 has the mini-SD and is alot smaller and lighter than both of these phones. 😲

Don't forget poorly built in comparison.

So does the 8100. 😛

It is a shame about the loss of the CCD camera. CMOS cameras can take good pics, but not many do. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah comparing a Kia to a Cadillac is crazy because a Kia is a Korean piece of **** economy car and a Cadillac is an American piece of **** luxury car. 🤣

Yeah, I know. So no instead of their cars being very crappy, they may be upgraded to semi-crappy/borderline decent but still not worth the money 🙄

Anybody who's anybody knows that American cars are very poorly engineered and built. Some may get lucky and get one that lasts a while and is problem free, but it's not typical. Results may vary, but good results arent typical.

I have to disagree, American Manufaturers have stepped up their quality. Considering they have lost a lot of sales to Japanese Manugfacturers that do a great job of building Cars right here in the US. But I disagree with the statement that the trucks of our good american Manufacturers are in a state of dismay as they are very well built.

Yea I will take a Chevy pick-up anyday. My parents have a '96 Silverado Z71 and it has 210,000 miles on it and it's still running like new. It has been a very reliable truck, and has never left them stranded anywhere. I own an '05 Colorado LS Z71, and it is a very well built vehicle. I'm sure I will have it for a long time.

I know this isn't related to phones, but on the topic of american cars, I have a 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier, and it runs great for as old as it is. It has a ton of miles on it, not sure exactly how many, but I can keep up with my dad in his 1996 family van (windstar if ur wondering) on the interstate. its been a pretty good car to my and my mom before she gave it to me (she got a buick).

great advances have been made in CMOS Imagers...if you look at Canon's Digital SLR lineup...all of their professional cameras use CMOS technology. Nikon's new top-end camera uses CMOS as well...
