Mitsubishi Announces SuperCCD SR Camera Module
Also from DPReview is news of a rather surprising development from Mitsubishi - a new camera module that features Fujifilm’s SuperCCD SR technology, which is designed to boost dynamic range in photos. This was actually announced last week, but it seems that only DPReview have picked up on the use of Fuji’s unique technology.
“Interesting to see Fujifilm’s SuperCCD SR technology in a camera phone module, although it’s not clear from the press release whether Mitsubishi is licensing the design or buying SuperCCD’s direct from Fujifilm (they do appear to have done this before).
A little further investigation and we discover that this isn’t the first SuperCCD SR camera module from Mitsubishi, there is also the CMO41 (816 x 612 x 2) and CMO11 (648 x 486 x 2). We’ll pre-suppose that Fujifilm hasn’t talked about this in great detail before because the image quality from this tiny modules won’t be up to their standards.”
