Pictures have surfaced of a new cameraphone from Motorola that promises to take on Sony Ericsson, Nokia, LG and Samsung in the cameraphone stakes.

Teaming up with Kodak, as we reported Moto would in May last year, the phone will sport a 5 megapixel sensor and Kodak branding in the same way as Sony Ericsson and Nokia brand their phones with the Carl-Zeiss logo.

"They’ve made a cameraphone together that is almost ready for release – apparently the quality is supposedly awesome", an undisclosed source within Motorola told Pocket-lint.

The phone’s rumoured to be called the Motozine ZN5, Chinese-language site Keysj claims.

In May 2007 Kodak announced that it was planning to release its own CMOS sensor in several Motorola mobile phones.
The announcement was made at the JPMorgan Technology Conference in Boston by the company’s president Antonio Perez.

At the time, Kodak said it expected the new models to be available in the first half of 2008.

We are awaiting comment from Kodak.

We will keep you posted.
