05 Dec 08 Samsung Developed 720p Webcam
Tired of those grainy, noisy webcam images of you whoring yourself on the Internet? Well, Samsung has something in store for you – the company has announced a new ¼ in CMOS sensor that produces 720p images at a full 30fps, and VGA (640×480) video at 60fps. Samsung somehow managed to preserve low-light performance at such resolutions and framerate on such a small sensor using a technique called “binning” where certain pixels are deactivated and grouped together to help gather light for active pixels.
The sensor has been designed for use in both laptops and desktops, with hope that it will go into manufacturing in the first half of 2009. 720p webcams in mainstream notebooks? Now that would be awesome.
