Samsung Develops 5 MP Camera Phone Sensor
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 05:00 PM
"South Korea's Samsung Electronics has developed the world's first mobile phone equipped with a five-megapixel camera. The latest model, called the SCH-S250, has a charge-coupled device camera and high-sensitivity flash which allow users to take high-quality pictures. It can also function as a camcorder. Built-in cameras are considered basic features in mobile phones but most camera phones have picture resolutions of less than one megapixel, meaning the pictures can sometimes be poor quality even if the technology is improving all the time."
5 MP in a camera phone? Ok, great. But what about the image quality? Have we finally moved beyond the muddy CMOS images? I've yet to see an image from a camera phone that makes me go "Nice photo!". :roll:
