The only part that fits that description (BSI, 1.75u pixel, RAW) is the 5650.<br />As a shareholder of Omnivision I would be delighted to see the TrueFocus part in the iPhone, but it just doesn't ring true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-261672333352545912010-06-24T00:14:47.334+03:002010-06-24T00:14:47.334+03:001,4 !!!!
