Reuters, The Register: Fast developing cameraphone technology will shortly make SLR system cameras and even professional cameras obsolete, Nokia's Markets EVP Anssi Vanjoki said in a speech in Helsinki.
"There will be no need to carry around those heavy lenses," Vanjoki said, pointing to a professional photographer taking pictures of him.
Vanjoki said HD video recording was also coming to cellphones within the next 12 months.
Amazing! It will be wonderful to have optical zoom, multi-zone auto focus, image stabilization, great light gathering capability, large pixel performance, near telecentricity, and multielement lenses in a cell phone shortly.
ReplyDeleteI imagine this is due to the Invisage break-through.
This will be a DSLR but with a cellphone function :) !
ReplyDeleteEric，
ReplyDeleteInvisage can do this? LOL
Nikon had a protoype DSLR with cellular connectivity in 2002 but canned the product concept.
ReplyDeleteShortly? Define that please. To me, that means within the next month, year, etc. This guy is smoking too many birch bark doobies in Finland or maybe the long winter has caused the onset of dellusions.
ReplyDeleteI bet Canon and Nikon are quaking in their boots.
ReplyDeleteNokia designs mobile phones the size of a milk carton...
ReplyDeleteI've seen a proto and demo. seriously good. Nokia could do it if biz case is strong.
ReplyDeleteAll you need is a few groopies! The iPhone is inferior but has a lot of "true beleivers". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....and love is blind.
