Competition Between Camera Mobile Phones, Digital Cameras Becomes More Fierce

"A survey conducted by Nikkei BP Consulting Inc found that many users expect camera mobile phones to have performances and capabilities as high as those of digital cameras.

Thus market observers expect that competition between camera mobile phones and digital cameras will be much more fierce. In fact, the number of units of mobile phones with a built-in camera produced is growing much faster than that of digital cameras.

The survey also showed that users take an average of 4.7 pictures per week using a built-in camera mobile phone. The higher the resolution camera phones they have, the more picture they take, the survey said. Users of a camera mobile phone with 300,000 pixels take pictures twice as much as users of a phone with less than 100,000 pixels". [NE Asia].
