Posted by Paul Martin in "NEWS" @ 05:28 PM
"Mobile phones have emerged as the single largest market for image sensors, surpassing the entire consumer electronics segment to become the main application for both charge-coupled device (CCD) and CMOS image sensors, according to iSuppli....Although cameras have become standard on most mobile phones, studies suggest that actual usage remains much lower, with less than 10% of consumers actually using the device as their primary image capture device. "
The study by iSuppli has some suggestions for why phone camera usage still lags, including lower image quality, ease of operation, and cost of getting the pictures off the phone. If you have a camera on your phone, is it your main photo device? What would make you ditch your digital still camera?
