Digital Camera War Raging In Brunei
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Camera shops are in for a fierce market competition this year as manufacturers are set to compete with one another with better digital cameras.

The competition, they said, will focus on technology, image resolution and elimination of noise and shutter delay.

Resolutions will vary widely in size, with some offering 3 million pixels while most 4 million and above.

Professional cameras now have resolutions of up to 16 million pixels while semi-professional models at 8 million pixels.

"The norm is 5-8 million pixels this year while compact ones at 3-4 million pixels.

"It will be interesting to see camera phones with better resolutions than compact ones in the market," they said.

An establishment anticipated two trends this year: higher resolution and more manual controls, "since current models control the user rather than the other way around".

"You can't take a photo as well as when you use a manual camera because of technical limitations. But that will change this year," he believed.

He added that cameras would keep getting smaller, although the components would not.

"The photo display will remain the same because manufacturers recognise its importance to users," he said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
