Requirement
I've set the following 3 requirements for a good camera phone -
- anything > 6 MP
- Pixel size should be more than 1.12 μm
- less than f/2.2 aperture rating
What makes a good camera?
According to various blogs, the following are the main things to look for in a good camera phone -
- 5-6 Megapixel is enough
- Size of image sensor is more important than mega pixels.
- Ultimately, area of image sensor / number of pixels = pixel size
- Less than f/2.2 aperture rating
- Greater than 1.12 μm pixel size.
