Next-Generation Camera Modules Coming Soon
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 05:00 AM
"Samsung Techwin recently announced a new camera module for phones, which they will start producing in bulk next year. The entire package is 9 mm thick and features a 3 Megapixel sensor with autofocus and 3x optical zoom. In addition the new camera is also supposed to be more shock resistant and consume less power than current high end modules. While Samsung's new camera uses more traditional technology, Taiwan's Creative Sensor is set to commercialize liquid lenses. The company is set to produce autofocus cameras for phones based on Varioptic's technology next year as well."
To be honest, I don't care much about greater resolution and zoom. If they can improve the sensors and lenses used in camera phones, then I'll be interested. Here's hoping that whatever they have in store for these "next-generation" cameras turns our pictures from amateur security video snapshots to almost noise-free visual masterpieces. ;)
