STMicroelectronics Camera Sensor is 1/5 Inch, Smallest Available

STMicroelectronics new VD6725 single-chip camera sensor is so small, it could theoretically fit in a cameraphone module as small as .5 x 5mm. The sensor is two megapixels and is capable of shooting VGA video at 30 fps or UXGA video at 15 fps. Kodak’s new CMOS sensor may be small for a 5-megapixel array, but STMicroelectronics’ is just small. [PR Newswire via MobileWhack]
