Handsets with 5-megapixel cameras to be widespread [ 12-12-2007 17:38 ]

Author: Irina Turina Source: DigiTimes Translation by: Rytchkova Anja

Handsets equipped with 5-megapixel zoom lenses may become mainstream in the camera handset market in one to two years, says the Digitimes referring to sources in Taiwan’s optical lenses industry. Currently camera phones with 1.3-megapixel or 2-megapixel (rarely 3.2-megapixel) non-zoom lenses are very popular. 5-megapixel 3x zoom camera phones have already come to the market, Samsung Electronics and Sony Ericsson introduced such phones.

According to the Photonics Industry and Technology Development Association (PIDA), there are two key ways of development for phone camera lenses: precision-molded aspherical glass single lens units or units made of multiple plastic lenses. The second lens type can zoom and is suitable for resolutions of 5 megapixels or more.
