Megapixel race is seriously dead

If you needed any more evidence that the megapixel race is well and truly dead, news online today informed me that we are on the verge of seeing mobile containing 20 megapixel cameras with 1080p video recording, with other features such as multiple shots per second and HDMI output!!

How are they going to achieve this?? The key is in the graphics processor – size and heat (ie power consumption) are the biggest problems facing such small form factor devices. But Broadcom has built a powerful graphics processor that is more efficient, more powerful, and flexible to allow a significant jump in the capability of hand-held devices.

And it was only recently that I was all set to get in line for my new gigapixel camera

Just wait until the iPhone gets the new processor, then Chase Jarvis will shoot nothing else!!
