What's anyone's take on this? Now that Samsung has produced video in a mobile phone with high definition what's next? Do you think we are going to see high definition photos from future camera phones? Do you think lenses will be able to produce high definition photos from tiny mobile phone camera lenses? Would we have to see more protruding lenses on mobile phones if we want better quality?

Why not the first cameras were huge and as time passes people develop new things,bigger becomes smaller and better.there are already professional cameras with HD but very expensive. I really think that HD will be able first on medium (non professional) cameras and then off course on phone cameras.Just hope it will be on  first!

I'm afraid Samsung will be the first. Lets hope SE improves it, a bigger lens would be good first step.

Like high definition tv or video. Already there are cameras which take high definition pictures and video and i was wondering if some day mobile phones will be able to do this. Already there has been Samsung HD video on a phone but maybe someday pics too. |

HD ( Full HD ) aren´t that a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels? In that case there have been "HD" still cam on our phones for many years now. Film in HD is basically many pics taken in a resolution who calls "HD" Ofcourse a phone who can film in HD also can snap a shot in "HD"
I dont understand what you mean with HD pictures? We already snap pics who have more pixles than the full "HD" resolution and have done so for many years. for example 5mp= 2592x1944 pixels 8mp= 3264x2448

Perhaps i am just getting myself mixed up here. Red faced oh well. Sorry i kept thinking when i seen HD digital cameras i thought they were at some sort of higher quality but then when you mentioned mega pixels i realised i was getting myself mixed up. Never mind.

HD is definitely the next move for camera phones. There is only so far one can go with the mega pixels, for instance are phone manufacturers going to make a 13, then a 15 then a 17 then a 20 mega pixel camera? I think not. I think that Samsung having gone HD will force others to do same.

@skblakee,
As pitzon pointed out, HD video is 1920x1080. What resolution is "HD photo"? Or are you talking about video?

Oh, forgive me. I was referring to video.

HD is great, but I still haven't seen a sensor capable of producing good video at VGA resolution let alone HD. Let's get sensor quality improved before we start obsessing about a megapixel race in video.

is the author referring to HD output of photos in an HD display such as Bravia LCD tvs?
in that case, we have those HD pics way back 2005 when k750 was released.
just stick a memory stick pro duo in a dedicated slot in a bravia.
the 2mp pics will be seen in full HD

Well as max said, a sensor with such impressive sensitivity and framerate is the first to consider when considering HD video on a phone. also include the hardware that decodes and encodes them. Samsung's step with OmniaHD is only for the purpose of fame as digital cameras still beat it when it comes to overall quality and we have not seen any cam phones with true HD video. and the highest video resolution so far that a cam phone can achieve is 720p (1280x720) which is just 1 megapixel compared to the Full HD that some DSLRs and prosumer digicams have reached was 1080p (1920x1080) and is actually 2mp. Samsung's new 5mp sensor is a good step towards Full HD video but still we have to have a capable hardware encoding platform at least as powerful as the one used on HD video capable digicams like Canon SX1 or Sony HX1.

While we're on about HD Video recording on phones, let me take the opportunity to remind that while we can have HD and over HD Resolution photos, there is no thing called as a HD Image. You can call an image HD just because it is over 1920×1080 if you wish to. But that resolution is "HD" for moving images, commonly known as videos.
The basic issue here is that for moving images, HD resolution is enough (in fact, very good!) because it is moving and even with the highest eye of detail, human eyes will not be able to spot discrepancies (if any). That however is not the case with still images which we can ogle at for hours. I do not know of any resolution benchmark that will be the minimum requirement for an image to be termed a HD image but if image resolution is the benchmark for an HD Image, there are some really huge images out there. Look here
T230 >> T610 >> Ngage QD >> N73 >> N85 >> Omnia HD >> And countless other review units |
