KODAK EKTRA - Photographers Smartphone

kodak-ectra-image-1

Kodak announced new Photographers smartphone named Ektra. Let’s do some research. The Ektra camera was actually a film camera introduced  back on 1941.

According to Kodak the new Ektra is a photography focused Smartphone. And yes it’s actually true to some extent.\Kodak really done a lot of work to design the control and interface of the Smartphone that resembles with today’s compact camera. As you can see the image the Smartphone features physical jog dial button where you can select the type of mode you want, including Manual where you can select exposure, ISO, focus, white balance and shutter speed.

The camera isn’t anything like Nokia lumia 1020 or highest rated Google pixel Smartphone. The module inside the Kodak Ektra is Sony IMX230 camera module used by Xperia Z4 Smartphone (Announced on May 26, 2015). The IMX230 camera module features 21-megapixel (MP) main camera with f2.2 aperture lens and 192 AF points for Fast Auto focusing and built in HDR recording capabilities.

As far as I know the same camera module is being currently used on Lenovo Vibe X3, Motorola Moto X Style.

The specification of the Smartphone is really impressive since it’s features MediaTek Helio X-20 10-core processor, On the rear side of the Smartphone we have 21 MP camera as we have discussed earlier and on

a 13MP front-facing camera, 3,000mAh battery, 3GB RAM, 32GB in-built storage, and a USB Type C charger. It will ship with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

iPhone7 Plus Coming With Dual Camera Setup

The next iPhone7 plus have dual camera set up according to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, the new iPhone7 Plus dual cameras will help you to get more optical zoom and also to simulate a shallow depth of field, as we have already seen in the huawei P9 smartphone.

The next iPhone7 Plus camera will also have a large 5.5 inch display Advance Core specifications compared to the current generation of iPhones.

Now the big question is who will supply the Dual camera modules for the next iPhone 7. Barron’s quotes Chris Chan of Asia-based financial services group:

We think Sony may not be able to deliver its full share of dual cameras to Apple due to: (1) lower-than-expected yield, and (2) damage to its production facility from the April earthquake in Kumamoto. As a result, we think LGI will gain majority share of the initial dual camera orders from Apple…

We expect a sharp increase in camera module ASP from 2H16F as we think: 1) dual camera module is likely to command 2.5x ASP premium vs. single-cam, and 2) OIS (optical image stabilization) will also be equipped in the new 4.7” iPhones – currently only the 5.5” model has OIS.”

Interchangeable Camera Module based Smartphones Coming

The latest patent documents floating over the web clearly shows a interchangeable camera module with a larger sensor (shown in the in-circle), the sensor size from the design look similar to APS-C sized sensor of DSLRs and mirrorless camera.

Sony Upcoming Active Pixel Sensor Details Leaked

Sony-upcoming-active-pixel-

The theoretical structure of Sony upcoming Active Pixel Sensor Details Leaked today, as we have said earlier that the newly developed sensor has a moving color filter above the sensor that moves on horizontal direction and manages to capture three exposure / images (RGB) at the same time and merges into one,

the advantages of active pixel technology are

– Bigger pixels compared to same resolution Bayer sensor. This means more electrons captured and therefore higher dynamic range and lower noise (crazy ISO possible…even crazier than those of the Sony A7s).
– No moire issues anymore. No Anti Aliasing filter needed (increases per pixel sharpness).
– That tech also allows to make crazy high megapixel sensor. For example if you keep an Sony’s APCS pixel size same as the current Sony A7r 36MP RGB pixel size sensor you could in theory make a much higher resolution sensor with same noise level.
– Less pixels to read means also faster processing and readout.
– You actually can have a “full-monochrome” sensor

The sensor is expected to introduced in smartphones first… and later on it will be added to mirrorless and compacts.
