MOBILE TECHNOLOGY WITH CAMERA FACILITY

Mobile camera phone technology is evolving exponentially. Cellular phones started out as analog devices which only allowed people to make calls and send text messages. These days, we have smart phones which practically function as small computers. Even keypads on cell phones have even begun to disappear as touch screen phones become more prevalent.

Technological convergence is part of the evolution of mobile phones. Cell phones are no longer just simple communication tools. People now use mobile phones to surf the web or receive and send email. Most of today's mobile phones can play music, videos, and even provide directions through GPS. People also use mobile phones to take pictures or videos on a whim because many mobile phones now include a camera.

As mobile camera phones have become the norm, mobile phone makers have started to add high end camera features to handsets, such as flash, zoom, auto focus and the ability to take videos. Mobile phone manufacturers have also started to increase the number of megapixels. Users can now choose from regular phones that offer 2 to 3 megapixel cameras to high-end camera phones that offer 5 megapixel cameras. Extra powerful camera phones that offer up to 8 megapixels of resolution have also joined the competition. In addition, manufacturers have added other advanced features, such as face recognition technology, image stabilization, red eye reduction and the ability to upload photos directly to the web.
