How smartphone camera tech will evolve in 2012
28.01.12
(WIRED) -- We love documenting our lives. If we didn't, well, there probably wouldn't be a hugely successful online behemoth called Facebook. And smartphone photography wouldn't be the thriving phenomenon that it is today.
Smartphones accounted for more than a quarter of all photos shot in 2011, according to research from NPD. The iPhone has even been called the " snapshot camera of today " by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.
Handset manufacturers identified image capture as a key application for mobile devices early on, and have been iterating the sub-webcam-quality cameras that graced the original cellphones ever since. Today, smartphone cameras are enjoying a true renaissance, with sensors, software features and lenses that rival the quality that was once only available in dedicated cameras.
