Camera lens company Carl Zeiss has partnered with Dialog Semiconductor to built what they claim is the next generation of miniature cameras for mobile phones. Their first joint project is a camera module for phones that measures smaller than a pea, yet, they claim, delivers "a very high image quality". The companies plan to start selling the modules to phone manufacturers soon.
The companies believe that with the right application of technology, 10 megapixel camera phones are within reach. That's a significant claim, however, given that dedicated professional digital cameras have not yet reached that level of detail.
