The chip will integrate with an image stabilizer, shading correction, and other essential point-and-click tools."
That means that it improves the quality of images more than just doubling the resolution will.]]>Feb 6th 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/

What is point of squeezing this many pixels onto a tiny little crap sensor with a $1 lens, when a DSLR wth 4MP's will take better pictures. Im sorry, I just dont believe in having one device that does it all. But then again im a photographer.]]>Feb 6th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/Feb 6th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/
Focus speed doesn't improve IQ, image stablizer will reduce some shake blur but it doesn't fix a bad lens, the increased SNR would be nice but cutting the area of each pixel to about 20% of what it is on a 2MP sensor would lower the SNR by much more that that.

It's a cool chip for a 2MP sensor, I just hope no marking genius thinks they'll sell more cameras by matching this chip with a 12MP sensor. I'd much rather see these chips improve interpolation and the camera phone companies improve their lenses more than anything.]]>Feb 6th 2009 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/Feb 6th 2009 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/

Manufacturers quote their dB under two misleading conditions:
1. Without optics. Two sensors may carry the same 65dB spec, but if you put a cell phone lens in front of one and an SLR lens in front of the other, the real world performance will be an order of magnitude different!
2. At minimal gain. It's like car manufacturers that quote *peak* horsepower at 6,000RPM, but the engine produces half the power at lower RPMs, except 10 times worst. Unless you're taking photos with 100,000 lux studio lighting, the gain will be no where near the level needed to reach the quoted signal to noise ratio!]]>Feb 6th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/

no memory card slot.
crap gps with in the uk.
no proper bluetooth thats not controlled so mp3s or shit cant be sent
and a shitty £2 meg camera

sony ericsson ftw !]]>Feb 6th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/Feb 6th 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/]]>Feb 6th 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/
Dont low ranking me for a suggestion now?

Im just curious]]>Feb 7th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/nec-develops-processor-for-12-megapixel-camera-phones/
