Ada serie baru motorola nih, namanya garing bin goreng.
Motorola kodak
Tp ada point khusus ttg keypad na, kata na sama dgn rokr e8, ada yg bs jelaskan?

Ya ampun namanya enga bgt --a

kodak itu kan generasi kamera awal2 yg masi pake film..makanya org2 (di indonesia) kl denger kodak kok kesannya jadul gmana gitu..:D
tp kodak gw rasa setara sama cybershot-nya SE..bahkan lebih gara2 sejarahnya yang lebih panjang..
btw jelek bgt kl keypadnya sama kaya e8..menurut gw loh..

Iya kodak tuh pikiran gw tuh msh pk film gtu :haha kamera gw jg dulu yg kodak gtu.. Lbh keren cybershot sugesti nya :hehe

Heh? Kodak itu salah satu nama besar dalam dunia foto2. Cuma kalau digital camera-nya sendiri sih, menurut gue reproduksi warna Kodak kurang tebel ya. Tapi kalau soal tajam, tajem banget.

Namany ky ga jadi satu..
"motorola kodak"
Gatau neh..gw ud terobsesi sony..ngliat apapun yg ada unsur sony pst bgs aja:D
Btw..ada gambarny ga dit

Iya soner gw jg kaya lw, produk apapun tp kalo sony pst gw anggep bgs :haha namanya jadi MOTOKOD

Argh...
Kenapa gprs im3 gw lemot lg.
@soner
masalah gambar jgn ngandelin aku deh.
Hehe...

Hahaha...

New Kodak Image Sensors for Low-Light Photography
New Kodak camera technology could make dark, blurry photos as thing of the past

Eastman Kodak Company today announced what it considers a “groundbreaking advancement” in image sensor technology that will help reduce the accidental taking of dark and blurry digital photos. Kodak claims its new sensor technology provides a two- to four-fold increase in sensitivity to light (from one to two photographic stops) compared to current sensor designs.

“This represents a new generation of image sensor technology and addresses one of the great challenges facing our industry – how to capture crisp, clear digital images in a poorly lit environment,” said Chris McNiffe, General Manager of Kodak’s Image Sensor Solutions group. “This is a truly innovative approach to improving digital photography in all forms, and it highlights Kodak’s unique ability to differentiate its products by delivering advanced digital technologies that really make a difference to the consumer.”

Image sensors convert light into electric charge to capture images. Today, the design of almost all color image sensors is based on the Bayer Pattern, an arrangement of red, green, and blue pixels that was first developed by Kodak scientist Dr. Bryce Bayer in 1976. In this design, half of the pixels on the sensor are used to collect green light, with the remaining pixels split evenly between sensitivity to red and blue light. After exposure, software reconstructs a full color signal for each pixel in the final image.

Kodak’s new proprietary technology, invented by John Compton and John Hamilton, adds panchromatic, or clear pixels to the red, green, and blue elements that form the image sensor array. Since these pixels are sensitive to all wavelengths of visible light, they collect a significantly higher proportion of the light striking the sensor. By matching these pixel arrangements with advanced software algorithms from Kodak that are optimized for these new patterns, users can realize an increase in photographic speed, directly improving performance when taking pictures under low light.

Inventor John Hamilton explains in the Kodak blog, “One way that helps to think about this is to look at it in terms of luminance and chrominance. In the original Bayer design, the green pixels are used to recover most of the luminance information from the image. Now, we are using panchromatic pixels - which are more sensitive than green pixels, because none of the photons get filtered out or wasted - to act as the luminance. This gives us a more sensitive luminance channel in the final image, which raises the sensitivity of the entire sensor.”

John Compton adds, “The real advantage is that the panchromatic pixels are more sensitive, since they detect all wavelengths of visible light (rather than filtering light to detect color information).” Hamilton points out that the improved images don’t come from using panchromatic pixels, but rather the more accurate luminance data.

Kodak’s new technology also enables faster shutter speeds (to reduce motion blur when imaging moving subjects), as well as the design of smaller pixels (leading to higher resolutions in a given optical format) while retaining performance.

As for which situations benefit most from the improved sensor, Hamilton says, “In situations where you want more sensitivity to light. In a low-light situation, these new patterns will produce a lot less color noise than a Bayer pattern sensor. You can run the shutter faster, which gets rid of a lot of motion artifacts. It will cut down on camera shake or, if you're taking a picture of a moving object there will be less blur.”

“Another way to think of this is that you have the same number of photons coming into the new sensor as you would with the Bayer pattern,” adds Compton. “It's just that the new filter arrays waste fewer of the photons since fewer of them end up absorbed in a color filter.”

The inventors say that the technology is appropriate for use with both CCD and CMOS image sensors, and that Kodak is developing this technology for consumer markets such as digital still cameras and camera phones. The technology may also be applied to other image sensor devices for industrial and scientific imaging. The first Kodak sensor to use this technology is expected to be available for sampling in the first quarter of 2008.

Kodak’s announcement comes on the heels of advancements in low-light photography made by South Korea's Electronic Technology Institute. The institute announced in late May that it had developed an image sensor for use in extreme low-light conditions and would be suitable for use in tunnels, night clubs and bars.

Kodak boosts digital camera sensitivity
Kodak says digital cameras will work better in dim conditions with a straightforward but significant change to image sensors.
Photos: Kodak's highly sensitive sensor
Podcast: Help for the camera klutz
By Stephen Shankland
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
Published: June 13, 2007, 9:00 PM PDT

Eastman Kodak has developed a relatively straightforward change to digital camera image sensors that could help with a major photography bugaboo: poor performance in dim conditions.

The new technology, to be unveiled Thursday and used in products in 2008, increases light sensitivity of existing image sensors by a factor of two to four, said Mike DeLuca, marketing manager for Eastman Kodak's image sensor solutions group.

Translated into photography terms, that means a camera's shutter speed could be cut in half or a quarter, helping cut camera shake or motion blur problems. Alternatively, it could let photographers shoot in low light with less image "noise"--the pesky multicolor speckles that degrade photographs.

"That's the real bane, when you think about it. There's just not enough light to collect," said IDC analyst Christopher Chute. Of Kodak's new method, he said, "It's pretty revolutionary."

Light sensitivity has become a serious problem in digital cameras, particularly as higher megapixel counts have increased noise levels in image sensors.

And unlike some efforts to improve digital cameras, the new Kodak technique can be applied to any existing image sensor, leading Kodak to hope it will be able to license the high-sensitivity technology far and wide.

"We absolutely feel there is a big opportunity for this...to become a new standard in the industry," DeLuca said. "We really want to propagate this out as far as the market feels it should be taken."

Kodak's new method better reflects how human eyes actually work, separately registering color and brightness information--and devoting more pixels to brightness, where the human eye is sensitive to detail.

The company's technology doesn't require any new fundamental changes to the heart of the image sensor, where a grid of electronic detectors converts incoming light first into electric signals and then digital information. Instead, the new technology adds some neutral "panchromatic" pixels to the usual array of red, green and blue pixels in the grid, then uses a different software algorithm to reconstruct the full-color images from the sensor output.

Pixel patterns
In nearly all of today's digital cameras, each sensor pixel detects either red, green or blue, with those particular colors placed in a quasi-checkerboard arrangement called a Bayer pattern, after the Kodak engineer, Bryce Bayer, who developed it. Every second pixel registers green light, while the remaining pixels capture either red or blue.

With a 12-megapixel Bayer-pattern sensor, 6 million pixels are green, 3 million are red and 3 million are blue. Software reconstructs the full-color image so each pixel has a red, green and blue component through a process called de-mosaicing.

In the high-sensitivity pattern--as yet lacking a formal name--half the pixels capture red, green or blue color information, while the other half are panchromatic pixels that capture only the brightness. So a 12-megapixel sensor would have 6 million panchromatic pixels, 3 million green pixels, 1.5 million red pixels and 1.5 million blue pixels.

Different software algorithms, which typically run in an image processing chip within the camera, must be used to reconstruct a full-color image, DeLuca said. Today that software is a little larger than the Bayer demosaicing software, but with optimization that Kodak now is working on, it should become "comparable."

As a way to deal with low-light shooting problems, Chute said, Kodak's technology is a compelling alternative to expensive image stabilization, which moves lens elements or the sensor to counteract camera shake, or post-processing, which uses software to try to reduce image noise.

From prototype to product
Kodak plans to release the technology in several ways. First, it will build it into its own cameras, DeLuca said. Second, it will offer it and the accompanying software with the image sensors it sells to other camera makers--both the CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors it builds itself and the CMOS (complimentary metal oxide semiconductor) sensors that IBM and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) build for it.

And it could license the technology to other companies. "We will engage in conversations with other companies as appropriate," DeLuca said.

The first prototype sensors intended for production use are scheduled to arrive in the first quarter of 2008, he said. Typically, production-quality chips arrive three to six months after, he added.

Kodak's technology has the potential to spread widely, Chute said. "But first it needs to prove itself. It can't just be a lab rat." And another possible obstacle is intellectual property. Kodak hasn't been afraid to file patent infringement suits against camera makers Olympus and Sony.

It's good that it's relatively easily to add the technology to existing cameras, Chute added, but Kodak shouldn't expect its technology to spread like wildfire. "Camera manufacturers and the photo industry tends to be very conservative. They go with what they have and make it better."

Motorola will launch new devices

11-03-2008: The time has finally come, after months and months of waiting the first messages that Motorola will launch new devices next month have arrived. Are these the devices that will save Motorola?

Door: Willeke de Haas

After the entire line-up of Motorola leaked in October no new messages of the American manufacturer have showed up, no new device introductions, no new rumours and no new details. Except for one thing it was entirily silent round Motorola. All arrows direct to a Motorola as a sinking ship, several top executives left the American brand, decreasing salesnumbers characterized the business and Motorola was even for sale for those who were interested. Today, new image material of some new devices leaked, devices that Motorola is to present at the CTIA Wireless, an American event so the perfect event for Motorola. The employees of Unwired View were the first to get their hands on the new footage, the similarities with the leaked line-up that Mobile Phone Helpdesk spotted in October are great.

Motorola X Pixl
The Motorola X Pixl has reached the news several times because this is the first mobile phone in which Motorola cooperated with Kodak, which can be directly seen on the photo. The candybar will probably be Motorola's first 5 megapixel device.

http://www.gsmhelpdesk.nl/img/news/main/1786.jpg
Motorola X Pixl

The photo and a leaked film of the Motorola X Pixl show a morph keyboard, a new technology that we first saw with the Motorola ROKR E8. With this, the functions of the keys change instantly and the expectation is that the keys of the Motorola X Pixl will be specific camera keys equipped with the morph technology.

Motorola Genghis
Another device that we also saw in October is the Motorola Genghis. A semi-business device for the small businessman or the messaging addict with sense of fashion. The Motorola Genghis will probably come to the market with the name Motorola Q10 and it operates on the Windows Mobile 6.1 system.

http://www.gsmhelpdesk.nl/img/news/main/1788.jpg
Motorola Genghis

Of course, all comforts the Windows Mobile system offers will be present as a standard and the Genghis will probably come to the market in several colours. If a camera will be present on the device is now known, this coule be the case though.

Motorola MotoMing2
A device that we have not really seen in the media earlier is the Motorola MotoMing2. According to the first messages, this trendy clamshell will offer many multimedia functions such as a musicplayer and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The device will also be equipped with WiFi support, bluetooth and A-GPS.

http://www.gsmhelpdesk.nl/img/news/main/1787.jpg
Motorola MotoMing2

The Motorola MotoMing2 will operate on the Linux system, a system that Motorola chose as substitute for, for example Windows Mobile and Symbian. The processor of the clamshell will be very good and fast.

Motorola ROKR E10
The biggest John Doe of the four is a slider that will probably be placed in the ROKR series as a music devices. It could be named ROKR E10. Details about this device are not available yet.

http://www.gsmhelpdesk.nl/img/news/main/1789.jpg
Motorola ROKR E10

The CTIA Wireless where Motorola will probably launch her four devices will take place from 1 to 4 April. Whether this small line-up will save Motorola's life is the big question. The device that should be Motorola's flagship, the Motorola Skarven, did not show up in today's photo material. Mobile Phone Helpdesk will keep an extra eye on Motorola during the CTIA Wireless.

Rokr e10 nya keren jg :hehe

kodak itu kan generasi kamera awal2 yg masi pake film..makanya org2 (di indonesia) kl denger kodak kok kesannya jadul gmana gitu..:D
tp kodak gw rasa setara sama cybershot-nya SE..bahkan lebih gara2 sejarahnya yang lebih panjang..
btw jelek bgt kl keypadnya sama kaya e8..menurut gw loh..

busyet kok kodak = kamera jadul??????
emang konica nikon minolta itu awal2 ga pake film?????????????
jangan disamain dong kodak = kamera film. kodak itu kan merek paten bukan kamera.


tp kodak gw rasa setara sama cybershot-nya SE..bahkan lebih gara2 sejarahnya yang lebih panjang..

emang bener nih kamera elo merek kodak?? jangan2 mereknya fuji film.

ada juga orang di sini omongnya naik angkot tapi omongnya naik daihatsu. padahal dia naik toyota kijang......


hihihihihihi

Brand belum tentu jadi tolok ukur kinerja sebenarnya..
Kita lihat saja nanti gimana kinerja kodak di motorola. Apa menjadikan kamera motoroja jd superior ato ga da perkembangan yg signifikant..?!?
Udah jd rahasia umum kalo secara general kamera motorola cenderung gelap+kecoklatan
Nokia cenderung over-kontrast, kec N82=perfect
SE kompleks, K800 cenderung biru/ungu, K770 cenderung kekuningan, eh K850 malah pudar/over-brightnest
Seinget gw K750/W800/W810 neh paling bener reproduksi warnanya..

Brand Sony belum tentu lebih bagus dari Kodak. Brand Sony belum tentu lebih bagus dari Panasonic. Jangan terlalu bangga dengan "Sony". Motorola dan Kodak sedang mempersiapkan 8 Mega Pixel Camera dan 12 Mega Pixel Camera.

Seorang photografer profesional tidak akan memilih "digital camera"; mereka akan memilih camera yang masih menggunakan film.

Selain rumour yang sudah gue kasih atas. Masih ada sekitar 20 type Motorola yang masih menjadi rahasia Motorola dan yang akan menjadi inovasi Motorola pada tahun 2008 ini.

Meski gw suka pada brand tertentu, tp gw obyektif ko' namanya jg hasil rekayasa manusia tidak akan ada produk ato brand yg sempurna, yg ada adalah mencoba untuk sempurna
Gw suka SE bukan karena addicted ato apa? Tapi karena SE punya citarasa Asia dg teknologi Eropa :haha
Dulu Sony teknologinya jadul2 sementara Ericsson modelnya masih cupu, gw suka bgt ama Siemens..tapi pas T68i muncul langsung gw banting setir

Tp ya kalo buat gw merk tetep pertama.. Kalo gw misalny pamer kamera baru ke temen2 gw trus ditanya 'merknya apa tu?' kalo gw jawab kodak pst gw diktawain .. Tp kalo gw blg 'sony' pasti lgs pada takjub :kakaka: itulah indonesia :haha

kadang itu semua tergantung selera masing2, ada yang lebih penting merk tapi ada juga yang mencari kualitas photonya........

Kita tunggu aja..
Gw jg penasaran ma hasil foto motorola kodak ini..
Btw motomania puna gmbrny ga?

Gambar apa yach?
Gambar photo Motorola Skarven?

Motorola Kodak ini bukannya yang 5mpx itu? kalo ga salah udah ada threadnya kan.....:bingung:

klo soal digicam beneran, sepenglihatan g sejauh ini sih sony kodak masih kalah dari canon :p menurut yg g liat2 loh.

loh temen lu tega amat rox punya kodak diketawain? :haha temen g pake Brica aja gada yg ketawa noh :P
trus g pake sony, gada yang woaaaaaaaaaa ke g gt... :argg :haha

Haha..apalagi kalo merk Sunny :lol:

Lah, nama Kodak kok diketawain... ^^; Padahal, gue sendiri baru beli digicam Kodak Z812IS, (kalo ga salah masuk kategori prosumer) yang direview-review termasuk cukup bagus hasilnya di banyak situasi, ga redeye (bandingkan dengan Canon S5 IS yang kalo ga salah musti lewat software buat ilangin redeye-nya), optical zoom aktif ketika ngerekam video, dll. Tapi emang Kodak masih kalah dari Canon, kalo diliat dari hal-hal lainnya.

---------------

Motorola Kodak sendiri emang cukup menarik. Tapi sayangnya, menurut gue, Motorola udah cukup terlambat masuk dalam pertarungan camera phone. Kita tunggu nanti gimana kualitasnya. Kalo bagus, Motorola bisa masuk lagi list merk ponsel pilihan gue ^^

Wah bener motorola emang telat masuk kompetisi hp kamera. Pasar dah ribut ama 5mp eh moto masih tenang2 aja dg 2mp non AF lagi

Motorola Kodak ini bukannya yang 5mpx itu? kalo ga salah udah ada threadnya kan.....:bingung:

Motorola Kodak Camera Phone di mulai dari 5 Mega Pixel Camera dan tidak terbatas hanya 5 Mega Pixel Camera. Portfolio Motorola sudah ada 8 Mega Pixel Camera.

Mendingan telat daripada tidak sama sekali. :D

Sedikit informasi.

Stereo Camera Packed Into Motorola Concept Phone
14.03.08 15:41

http://news.trendaz.com/dataimage/thumbnails_news/_Motorola_140308.jpg

(mobile) - You've surely heard of stereo speakers on a cell phone, but this Motorola concept has to be the first mobile phone with stereo cameras! We're not talking about dual cameras where there is one in the back for taking pictures and one in the front for video calls. With this concept, the two cameras are right next to one another.

What purpose these stereo cameras serve is beyond me. I'd imagine that with the appropriate software, you might be able to generate a 3D video by combining the two movie feeds, but that's probably beyond what this phone can do on its own. Designed by Lysandre Follet, the Motorola concept phone also has Bluetooth, WiFi, email support, and a multimedia player.

I can't imagine how useful such a contraption could be, but I am kind of digging the dual flash setup that flanks the pair of cameras. The form factor and layout look similar to the calculator phones from Samsung too.

Mendingan telat daripada tidak sama sekali. :D

yupz...bener bgt, jangan sampai telat terus nasibnya kayak Siemens loh..[rokok]

Hahaha...
Beda dong sama "Siemens" yang di buang dan di campakkan begitu saja sama "Benq".

Lha merk lain (Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson dan sebagainya) aja yang 5 Mega Pixel Camera masih belum banyak produknya; masih ada 1,3 Mega Pixel Camera, 2 Mega Pixel Camera dan 3 Mega Pixel Camera. Berarti kagak ketinggalan jauh lah.

Mendingan telat daripada tidak sama sekali. :D


setuju....... buru2 tapi kalo hasilnya ga maksimal kan sayang.....::v::

Hmm kan 1,3mp, 2mp, 3,2mp buat segmentasi kelas yg berbeda
LG aja ampe bela-belain keluarin 5mp pertama d indo demi gengsi+prestise dlm persaingan teknologi
Pasar disini lebih ke gengsi+prestise. Nokia tau ini, makanya nokia slalu kasih fitur2 baru, meski pasar+operator blm ready.
Tengok aja hp 3G yg smakin diburu, tu kalo mau ditanya ke masyarakat awam, pasti jawabnya "neh hp canggih 3G bisa vid call" jika ditanya lagi pernah dipake vid call ato internetan, pasti jawabnya "wah belum pernah coba, paling ya buat telp,sms ama foto2" lha truz beli hp 3G buat apa??

Btw motorola sebenarnya portofolio-nya cukup beragam, sayang harus berhadapan dg distributor d indo yg terlalu stagnan..

80% Ponsel 3G untuk Modem Internet
Achmad Rouzni Noor II - detikinet

Jakarta - Mayoritas pengguna internet lewat jaringan Telkomsel ternyata memberdayakan ponsel 3G miliknya sebagai modem untuk berselancar.

Arif dari divisi Mobile Broadband Telkomsel mengungkapkan jumlahnya mencapai 80% dari total pengguna layanan internet 3G Telkomsel Flash.

"Yang benar-benar menggunakan modem hanya dua puluh persennya saja," ujarnya di sela peluncuran komunitas pengguna Telkomsel Flash di Soho Music, Cilandak Town Square, Jumat (14/3/2008).

Sementara, menurut VP Telkomsel Area II Jabotabek Jabar, Agoes Soekarno, layanan Telkomsel Flash telah memiliki 50 ribu pengguna dari total 50 juta pelanggan seluler yang dimiliki Telkomsel.

"Lima puluh persennya atau sekitar 25 ribu pengguna Flash ada di Jakarta," kata dia sambil menambahkan, dari total 20 juta pengguna internet di Tanah Air, baru sekitar dua juta di antaranya saja yang secara intensif menggunakan.

Agoes memproyeksikan, pengguna internet melalui akses seluler akan terus tumbuh pesat seiring peningkatan kapasitas jaringan dan jangkauan layanan internet operator seluler. Ia memperkirakan ada 100 juta ponsel yang beredar di Indonesia.

Telkomsel sendiri berencana memperkuat jaringan pita lebar 3G dan HSDPA miliknya tahun ini di area perumahan dan tempat makan minum semisal kafe. "Akhir tahun ini semua blankspot area di Jakarta akan kami cover dengan jaringan HSDPA kami," kata Arif.

Hingga kini, Telkomsel mengklaim telah melayani 20 kota di Indonesia dengan jaringan berbasis HSDPA dan 80 kota dengan jaringan 3G. "Dalam satu dua bulan mendatang kami akan meningkatkan kecepatan 3G dan HSDPA kami, dari speed downlink 3,6 Mbps menjadi 7,2 Mbps, dan speed uplink dari 384 Kbps menjadi 1,4 Mbps." ( rou / rou )

Hmm kan 1,3mp, 2mp, 3,2mp buat segmentasi kelas yg berbeda

Betul, masing-masing buat segmentasi kelas yang berbeda. Lihat aja merk handphone yang mengkategorikan "High End"; apakah sudah menggunakan 5 Mega Pixel Camera seluruh type "High End"?


LG aja ampe bela-belain keluarin 5mp pertama d indo demi gengsi+prestise dlm persaingan teknologi
Pasar disini lebih ke gengsi+prestise.
Yach boleh-boleh aja keluarin 5 Mega Pixel Camera Phone pertama di Indonesia; pertanyaannya apa laku? Setau gue orang-orang Indonesia tuch branded mind.


Nokia tau ini, makanya nokia slalu kasih fitur2 baru, meski pasar+operator blm ready.
Selalu kasih fitur-fitur baru? Selama 3 bulan lebih yaitu sejak tgl 1 Januari 2008 s/d 15 Maret 2008; kagak ada fitur-fitur baru dan designnya itu-itu aja. Coba dech perhatikan. Begitu pula dengan "Sony Ericsson" yang designnya begitu-begitu aja; istilah cuma pindahin tombol aja. Bagaimana dengan prosesor yang lambat?



Btw motorola sebenarnya portofolio-nya cukup beragam, sayang harus berhadapan dg distributor d indo yg terlalu stagnan..
Distributor Motorola di Indonesia paling buruk; mereka kagak bisa baca situasi pasar di Indonesia.

Masa seh SE cuma mindahin keypad aja? ?
Selama gw pke SE seh cepet semua tuwh, g ada yg lemod..
Lagi modelny bgs", menurut gw..

Contohnya saja:
Sony Ericsson K630
http://img.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/sonyericsson/sonyericsson-k630-00.jpg

Sony Ericsson V640
http://img.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/sonyericsson/sonyericsson-v640-00.jpg

Masih ada banyak type SE yang mirip antara satu dengan yang lainnya. Tapi begitu lah sekarang ini lagi stagnan pada design.

Anyway... Back to topic "Motorola Zine / Zoom Series" (judul yang cocoknya).

Haha..itumah ponsel yg sama. :lol:
Hanya saja K630 buat produk internationalnya truz V640 tu kan di bundling ama Vodavone :haha gw kirain beda platform A100 ama A200 yg ada tombol call ama end
Yah sama aja kasusnya ama W800 dg versi bundling buat Vodavone brubah jd D750, truz tombol walkmannya jd tombol internet :hehe
Ok deh back to Motorola
Btw motorola kodak tu secara spek d atas kertas kira2 bisa ga ngimbangi N82? Coz gw berharap bgt ada hp kamera yg hebat, kalo bisa non Nokia
Maaf bkan bermaksud diskriminatif, tp klo dah soal selera apa mau dikata.

Berhubung bicara tentang camera di handphone Motorola Zine maka juga berbicara tentang Kodak Camera. Teknologi Kodak Camera terbaru yaitu tidak terlalu memerlukan cahaya dan termasuk tidak terlalu memerlukan flash light. Selain itu akan lebih tajam lagi hasil photonya. Gue post lagi tentang Kodak Camera Technology yang akan ditanamkan ke dalam handphone Motorola Zine.


New Kodak Image Sensors for Low-Light Photography
New Kodak camera technology could make dark, blurry photos as thing of the past

Eastman Kodak Company today announced what it considers a “groundbreaking advancement” in image sensor technology that will help reduce the accidental taking of dark and blurry digital photos.
