Posted in: Digital cameras 20 hours ago by Ian Samsung have released a successor to its EX1 (or TL500 in the US) large sensor compact camera. The new camera features what Samsung claim is the brightest compact camera lens, complete with a 3-inch swiveling AMOLED screen of VGA resolution.

Sony unveils Exmor RS CMOS sensor for phones and tablets, does HDR video

Posted in: Digital cameras, Mobile hardware 21 hours ago by Johnny Sony has unveiled a new line of Exmor sensors, the stacked CMOS dubbed RS, meant for use in cameraphones and slates. Expected to arrive in October the Exmor RS will come in two 8 MP and one 13 MP flavors. The Exmor RS is a back-side illuminated sensor, which means it allows more light to get through and thus improve low-light performance. It’s also stacked, meaning it packs more into less space to enable manufacturers to make slimmer phones with good optics. Speaking of optics Sony has prepped new brighter f/2.2 lenses to go along with the new Exmor RS sensor. The new module will also be capable of capturing HDR video if supplied with enough processing power. Source (translated) | Via View the original article here
