Camera phones

Hello Ms. Chuang

Do you feel that camera phones will ever have the quality and clearity to be used in reporting the media? And how do you feel this technology will impact the industry as a whole?

Hi Krystn,

Have you seen this? It's the world's first 7 megapixel camera phone. That's probably a higher resolution than what you have now. It's from Samsung and, unfortunately, not out yet. But it's coming. I blogged about it last March saying this: The SCH-V770, a 7-megapixel camera phone with 3x optical zoom. Why would anyone need such a nice camera on their cell phone, especially when fitness clubs, court rooms and other public places are beginning to regulate such devices? Well, I know that I hate dragging around my Nokia camera phone (less than 1 MP) and my lacking Nikon Coolpix (a gift). Plus, the V770 has that awesome feature of being a business-card reader. It takes a photo of the business cards, recognizes the text and files it straight into your address book.
