This week at 3GSM, OmniVision Technologies — almost a year to the day after announcing a 2 megapixel mobile camera sensor — announced the details of a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera module for, you guessed it, our beloved mobiles. The new 5 megapixel shooter is a CMOS model that has auto-focus (instead of the normal fixed focus in most cellphone digicams) and it should see the setting of a new standard as customers come to expect better and larger image quality from those tiny cams inside those tiny handsets.

This looks like very good news if you’ve been hankering after (much) better quality cameras in your latest / greatest smartphone, and fed up with the status quo abilities of nearly all that are out there right now.

My only problem with this upcoming leap forward is that it sounds like I’ll soon be out of excuses for taking rank photos. May need to start working on new ones from right now.
