Photography means many things to many people at many times. People use photos to visually communicate with others about a vacation, a news event or a celebrity. The process of visually communicating is in for a drastic shift due to the arrival of cell phone cameras or cellcams.
Professional photographers and consumers around the world have at last started to realize the benefits of making pictures digitally but it's not going to compare to how wireless photography will transfigure how people make, share, sell and communicate with pictures. Carrying a combined cellular phone and camera is a totally different mindset than roundabout around making pictures with a typical camera.
It may be a moment before cellcams prints move toward the quality of dedicated digicam prints, but one way or another, approach them they will. And with the "back pressure" MIPC will be indirectly putting on the cellcams makers to provide even higher quality image capture, things could get very motivating, very quickly. HP and Canon's printer divisions may love this pronouncement.
To fit in a compact phone, manufactures need to compromise on three things: memory, sensor, and lens. Flash RAM will continue to increase in capacity, so technology will help us here. Sensors also continue to improve in quality and capacity. Physics may work against the tiny lens included in cellcams and they may be limited by the amount of light they can capture and there optical quality cannot approach that of a quality digital camera. But I believe cellcams will compete with digital cameras in the quality department in time. At any rate they are still a convenient way to take and share spur-of-the-moment snapshots, which is great for a lot of people.
The image quality of these cellcams is 640 X 480 at best but we should have three megapixel cell cameras on the market within 18 months. Those who are irritable about the quality of today's cameras are not focusing on the decisive technological and cultural advances that are knocking at our door. Quality is a minor issue today and will be solved in time, as professional digital cameras are now good enough for publishing high quality books.
The coming of age of more intense digital invasion holds many opportunities. It will extend human abilities and shrink space. The astonishing variety of the present-day Internet is but a small taste of what is to come. The future is just but a mouse click away.
Keep reading for more digital opportunities available in the form of digital printing for your digital photography.
