Mobile imaging is hot, but the way the imaging industry looks at mobile imaging products has changed. Whereas some once thought that we needed digital cameras with phones built-in, or imagined doom scenarios where compact cameras disappeared entirely and mobile camera phones take over, the same people have now come to the conclusion that mobile imaging has increased the imaging market and is for most users just another way of taking a snapshot. Today's mobile camera phone has increased in resolution and offers features that were at earlier times only found in digital cameras. We may even see the first 12 Megapixel camera phones at the end of this year, or the beginning of 2009. One thing is for sure, the strength of a multimedia phone is an ultra compact and light weight design so that you can carry it with you, always, whilst also offering a perfect integration of a lot of multimedia features like a digital camera, video capture, GPS, Internet, etc.
