Inevitably Pricey Sigma DP2s Focuses Faster, Plays Well With Macs

OmniVision’s 5MP Sensor Shoots RAW On Mobile Phones

This is OmniVision’s newest 1/4-inch, 5-megapixel RAW sensor. It’s tiny, has low light sensitivity, captures 720p video at 60 fps or 1080p at 30 fps and shoots in RAW. The best part? It could find its way into smartphones.

Now if only phones had lenses which would truly take advantage of sensors like this. [PR Newswire via Engadget]
