If you were drooling over the 8 megapixel camera that the LG KC910, the Samsung INNOV8, or the Sony Ericsson C905 have to offer, it may be time to reassess your gadget-lust. Digital Imaging Systems launched their 9 megapixel camera module today, the DIS6931, which promises to capture photos up to 3488 x 2616 pixels in size and VGA video at 30 FPS. With power consumption under 175mW, an autofocus taking less than 300ms, a click-to-capture time of sub-200ms, and the highest pixel count to date, this module should be very appealing to manufacturers out there, so you can expect some announcements for the next notch in cameraphones real soon.
