VuPoint's $300 6-megapixel Camera 06/24/2004 02:38 PM

I have to say, I'm as dubious about this $300 VuPoint 6-megapixel camera as Red is over at The Red Ferret Journal, but it's just expensive enough that it could actually offer decent image quality and a small housing, although it doesn't look like it has any optical zoom, which would just about kill it for me. As soon as I see any reviews -- with sample images -- I'll let you know.

22 Megapixel Camera Back from Sinar

22 Megapixel Camera Back from Sinar 06/14/2004 08:06 AM

Developed for Sinar by Kodak, the new Sinarback 54 M is a new pro-level camera back that captures with an impressive 22 megapixel sensor with 14-bit color depth. I didn't realize high-end sensors generated a lot of heat during operation, but apparently the Sinarback dumps enough that it has an integrated Peltier cooler to enable it to be continuously used. No idea on price; let's say 'spendy' for now. (Thanks, Lorenz!)

More on the 22 Megapixel Sinar Camera
Back 06/15/2004 06:54 AM

Remember that 22-megapixel Sinar camera back from yesterday? Reader Jason Ozolins explains what makes peltier cooling on large CCDs so useful:

I think you'll find that the Peltier cooler on the Sinar camera back is not used to dissipate lots of internally generated heat (typical "leet overcloxor" use), but to keep the CCD sensor cold, which increases the signal to noise ratio, and allows them to get that incredible 14 usable bits of resolution per colour component.

It's been done with CCDs since the 1980s by astronomers; back then, making a 200Kpixel CCD was a hugely expensive proposition, so you might as well spend a few thousand more cooling the thing to wring the absolute most information possible out of its images.

Another convergence device from Concord called the DV2020, this one revolving around a 2-megapixel camera that also records digital video or can serve as a webcam, as well as work as a voice recorder and MP3 player. It has 16MB of internal storage, which isn't going to get you very far as a video camera, but accepts SD cards for additional storage. It's not really going to provide high-quality anything, but for $230 or so it might be a nice thing to throw in a bag and have with you just in case.

Motorola has announced a CDMA version of the massively popular V3 RAZR, which means either Sprint or Verizon users should be expecting the phone at some point in the near future. Engadget played with the new model at CTIA and noticed it has a 1-megapixel camera, instead of the GSM RAZR's skimpy VGA sensor, which is good news for late adopters, I guess. Sadly, none of the new Motorola phones are quite as impressive as the RAZR. I was really hoping the SLVR models, as thin as they are, were thinner.

Higher megapixel cameraphones are moving West, as Vodafone announces the Sharp V902sh as part of its UK 3G lineup, a 2.02-megapixel phone with optical zoom. Could that mean the US could see a 2-megapixel handset by the end of the year? I'm not betting on it.

I can hardly believe it's true, but MobileTracker is reporting that Sprint has announced the Audiovox PM-8920, the first megapixel-plus cameraphone for the US market. And if that weren't enough, the price is to be low -- $150 after rebates. Among its other features, the PM-8920 also features an 'Airplane Mode,' a special setting that allows games and applications to be used while keeping the cellular radio powered down. (That sounds like a load of fun to explain to the stewardesses.)

The PM-8920 should be in stores today. If any of you early adopters want to send in early impressions, feel free.

Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone

Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone 11/04/2003 07:06 PM
We've had a lot of stories in the last six months or so about shortsighted companies deciding to simply ban camera phones outright. In the past, I wondered if such rules would have an impact on mobile phone sales, but I didn't expect the carriers to jump on this topic so quickly. Put me in the same surprised boat as Alan Reiter to hear that carriers are convincing mobile phone handset makers to offer multiple versions of their phones: one with a camera and the other without. I really thought that with only a few companies overreacting and missing the point about camera phones, it would blow over, and a decade from now we'd be laughing at silly companies banning camera phones. At this rate, that might not be true. This is going to be a huge waste of money. Designing a new phone will take some money, and will create a phone that offers less value to the customer (and less opportunity for revenue for the carrier). However as camera phones begin to find more acceptance in the marketplace, people are going to get angry when their boss tells them the expensive phone they just bought can't be brought into the office. They're not going to want to buy the version without the camera if part of the reason they're upgrading is for the camera in the first place. This is a (costly) over reaction to a technology that will do nothing to stop the real problem (theft of corporate secrets or invasion of privacy), but will cost lots of money and anger many people.

But Does Anyone Want A Camera Phone?

But Does Anyone Want A Camera Phone? 05/11/2004 02:20 AM
There seem to be two opinions when it comes to camera phones: either people think they're going to be the greatest thing since the first internet browser or they're a silly waste-of-time trinket that's only going to make mobile phones (that don't work all that well already) more expensive. As with any such situation where there are extreme viewpoints, it often helps to have someone take a bit more of an objective look at what's really happening in the camera phone space. The summary seems to be that they're coming, no matter what. What people aren't quite as sure about is whether or not people want them. In fact, in areas where camera phones are being offered, there's really not much evidence that they're using them all that much. Also, while much of the push for camera phones has focused on how it will help the carriers by driving more wireless data usage, some providers have said they've seen no evidence to support that. Does this mean the whole camera phone concept is set to come crashing down before it's really begun? It's certainly possible. As with so much in the wireless space, the ridiculous level of hype has a tendency to do more damage than help. However, there are a few reasons why camera phones may work out after all. First off, people aren't buying camera phones for the camera. They're buying them for the phone. The camera just comes along with it. As such, handset makers and wireless carriers don't have to be nearly as concerned about the success of camera phones early on. It's almost a "stealth" way of seeding the market (if you can call this stealth). Next, whether or not users think they'll use camera phones isn't so much of an issue compared to whether or not they actually will use camera phones - and that will depend on the applications. People are going to realize that there are an awful lot of connected cameras out there - and that presents an opportunity. It's not the fact that everyone will have a camera in their hands, but the fact that those cameras are connected that will drive people to start creating applications that take advantage of that - whether for productivity, for safety or for fun. It's those applications that will make the camera phone worth while. I doubt that it will happen nearly as fast as most folks in the industry would like, but I certainly don't think it's the fad that some columnists/analysts are predicting will quickly go away.

eWeek reports on an interesting new trend: cellphone carriers asking manufacturers to start offering versions of their phones without the digital cameras built-in. Why? Because for security reasons their business customers don't want to issue their employees cellphones that can potentially snap pictures of sensitive company material and documents. Verizon has already asked Samsung to develop a camera-free version of the i700 and Sprint is talking to Handspring/palmOne/whoever about doing the same thing for the Treo 600.

Camera Phone Rules That Don't Seem New

Camera Phone Rules That Don't Seem New 04/27/2004 05:27 PM
Over in Australia, the government is sending out a set of camera phone guidelines to schools suggesting they implement the rules to deal with the growing popularity of camera phones. The rules include banning the use of camera phones in locker rooms and bathrooms, as well as disciplining those students who use camera phones to cheat or bully other students. These are all actions that require punishment, but I'm wondering why the technology needs to be singled out. I would assume that it's pretty obvious that you shouldn't be taking pictures in a locker room or bathroom. Isn't that already "banned" by the school? Similarly, bullying or cheating seems like the type of thing that the school already has rules against. Why create a separate classification that involves the use of a camera phone. All it does is demonize the technology, rather than the action. Even worse, those who came up with the guidelines admits that there's no known problem with camera phones in schools - but they're trying to stop it before it becomes a problem. So, they're trying to solve a non-existent problem by putting in place rules that are already in place. That seems positively useless.
