Foreign LG phones at CES 2009

Though most of the handsets LG had for show here at CES 2009 have been around for a while, the company did show off several Europe-only models that we can only drool over for now.

The LG Renoir's claim to fame is its 8-megapixel shooter. It's equipped with Schneider-Kreuznach optics and has a boatload of features including manual focus, ISO 1,600 sensitivity, geotagging, face detection, smile detection, and even blink detection. It features Touch Shot technology, which lets you autofocus on something by tapping on it, and then the picture will be taken automatically. Other cool camera tricks include Beauty Shot, which reduces blemishes and skin imperfections, and Art Shot, which includes photo effects like color tones and black and white.
