Sharp Unveils Small 12.1 MP Camera Sensor

The latest offering from Sharp isn’t what’s expected from this Osaka based manufacturer.

Unlike the normal offering of TV and Smartphone, the latest offering from Samsung is a 12.1 MP camera sensor module. The recently unveiled 12.1-megapixel sensor from Sharp is expected to be used in company’s impending handsets. According to Sharp the new module is slimmest in the business, measuring 5.47 mm high and around lesser than one inch deeper.

The all new RJ63YC100 camera sensor from Sharp will also be capable of shooting complete-HD (1080 pixel) video and will also support technology of lens-shift for the stabilization of image.

The new 12.1 megapixel sensors are supposed to sell for around 12,000 yen which comes to about $ 154. We haven’t heard anything on whether Sharp has got a buyer for the lens or not, but it’s pretty sure that we will be seeing these sensors in near future.
