OmniVision Technologies, a leader in digital imaging solutions has announced at MWC 2010 that they have created the world’s first mobile-centric image sensor that’s capable of shooting RAW pictures.

All of the existing phones and PDAs right now are only able to take pictures in the compressed JPEG format. The advent of high-capacity memory cards for smart phones and PDAs is greatly compatible with OmniVision’s OV5647 image sensors. RAW pictures when stored eats up to 10x more file size but since it is uncompressed, mobile gadgets can finally capture true high-resolution photos! OmniVision is betting huge on the rising popularity of smart phones and this RAW-capable OV5647 certainly offers a feature that no other existing image sensors in the market has at the moment.
