You know what EasyShare is right? It’s a feature of the Kodak camera line that helps get the pics off your camera and onto your computer or to your printer. What does that have to do with cameraphones? Turns out that Kodak and Motorola are in cahoots for some 5-Megapixel CMOS camera sensors: according to CNET, we should see the sensor in a Motorola phone by year end.
I’ve owned several digital cameras ranging from an old HP (1.3 MP) to my current Panasonic Lumix shooter (6 MP); somewhere in the middle was a Kodak EasyShare. I don’t know who made the CMOS sensor, but I found it to be a reasonable device with marginal optics; overall, not a bad value for the price. Let’s see what Motorola can do with a new Kodak CMOS; with the right optics perhaps we’ll see the unlikely happen: a phone that provides video as good the higher end Nokia N-series devices.
