A new 8 megapixel cameraphone has been spotted in the wild, and is dubbed LG KC780. Given the specs the new KC780 has I would have expected to be nicknamed, but who cares when you get a 13.9mm thick phone that packs a 2.7-inch LCD and incredibly smart Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens.

Actually talking about the camera, it’s the most interesting thing in the whole phone. With Face Detection technology, Beauty Mode that will digitally smooth blemishes and built-in image stabilization the new LG KC780 is probably going to shoot images really nice up to ISO 1600 (it does have a tiny flash over there) and videos at 640 x 480.

One of the most intriguing things (that I honestly didn’t expect) is that the new LG KC780 can act as a wireless Bluetooth webcam for a PC. We’re waiting for a price and a release date because nothing “leaked” yet. - via Engadget
