Interesting read: “Startup Says Quantum Dots Can Transform Cellphone Cameras” (WSJ) and “InVisage aims to remake camera sensor market” (CNet). (company sites: InVisage and QuantumFilm Technology)
My question/comment is this: Sure, you may be able to slap a 12-megapixel sensor on a mobile phone camera, but unless there are great improvement in the lens’ optics, how are you go to get good quality non or less distorted light through the crummy lens?
Megapixel is NOT everything. The lens plays a key role in good picture too.
P.S. As a technology geek, I love technological advancement but we can’t ignore the rest of the components in a system. And to me, the stupid and tiny lens will be a problem/limitation for sometimes to come.
P.S.
