Atsana Semiconductor and 1 today announced a strategic partnership to make auto-focus functionality available to manufacturers of mobile feature phones.
Camera enabled mobile phones typically rely on fixed focus lenses – which do not provide the image quality that users are conditioned to with DSC’s and camcorders; the depth of field is short, and focus quality can vary from camera to camera due to production line tolerance issues. Auto-focus mechanisms are important with higher resolution megapixel cameras, since the depth of field becomes even shorter due to the smaller pixel pitch and production line tolerance issues become more noticeable.

I wonder if there will ever be the day when the entry-level digital camera would die out - and be replaced by camera phones with these kind of lenses and a few megapixels resolution?
It would mean one less thing to carry about with you when out and about or on holiday!
