The SI Camera Phone and Mobile Photography Board
I had intended to lead off posts to this board with some accumulated history of camera phones and the contributions of Nokia, Samsung, Sharp, Sony (and Sony Ericsson), Toshiba and other OEMs as well as manufacturers of lenses, sensors and other silicon, and imaging software. I eventually will do that.
Initially I personally am focused heavily on Nokia's game-changing PureView Technology implemented originally in the Symbian Belle 808 pureView Pro then the 9xx series Lumia Windows Phones and now the new Lumia 1020, and comparing high end imaging devices from competitive challengers to these devices.
