HTC is likely to beef up its cameraphone department

While known for its superb business and sleek fashion phones, the innovative Taiwanese HTC stated , from BGR, that it would try to improve its cameraphone department.

Eric Lin of HTC said it would not compete in the megapixel race, as hyped by the flamboyant-yet-unproven Idou.

As quoted from BGR :

"We've seen plenty of research that says 5-6MP is the sweet spot for a camera phone, so would it make more sense to put a bad-ass 5MP sensor in one of our phones?


Clever. Intelligent. Why not create a killer imaging smartphone, with working 4x optical zoom, great macro support, and all the standard features and quality of digi-cam that will drop our jaws? Certainly bigger megapixel does not equal better images. And who needs that 12 MP loaded into our printers, or our commonly used Microsoft Picture Viewer.

I personally think megapixel race is worthless. People are not stupid, and they can buy great 10 or 12 megapixel digicam with much much higher image quality and peace of mind, than speculating in an exotic device like Idou. However, there are always early adopters, and these people will surely flock to idou.

HTCs are truly smarter. It may be small, but I belive it will continue to release carefully thoughts smartphones, not only bigger and stronger ones.
