Integrated Digital Cameras

Module by: Ishan Abeywardena. E-mail the author

Summary: This module gives a brief overview of integrated digital cameras.

Integrated digital cameras are used by many of us on a daily basis. These include devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, PDAs, BlackBerry’s, netbooks, modern laptops and tablet computers which incorporate digital cameras of various resolutions for both still as well as video capture. Some of the modern mobile devices include two cameras which are front and rear facing. Usually one camera is of low resolution and purpose built for video conferencing while the other is of higher resolution built for image capture. With advances in technology the present day smart phones and tablet computers incorporate digital cameras which range from 3 megapixel to 8 megapixel. Some of the higher end phones have integrated cameras of 10 to 12 megapixel. Although the image quality might not be as good as a purpose build DSLR camera, these devices capture high resolution images in compressed formats which can be instantly shared over the internet.

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
