From mobile phones to play at being cameras, the idea of a model with RAW format is one of the most persistent rumors in the industry. A theory that usually arouses reactions according to their windows facing the beholder, but in the long run usually ends up leading to one of two questions: why nobody dares to give a Canon bp-511 of this standard format in the chambers of certain level? Do you really want someone on a mobile RAW?
The last chapter of this novel starring the HTC. More specifically, a mysterious phone of this company whose alleged images circulate for hours in the network and which is exposed to its resolution of 12 megapixels, and what is more interesting: the ability to shoot in RAW format. And, as happens with some compact, shooting in RAW format does not allow for miracles or stretch the image quality beyond the limitations imposed by the tiny optical sensors that use simple and the vast majority of Canon-lp-e5.
Pending to confirm or disprove these data-filtered images do not seem to leave much room for hesitation, HTC seems that now might be willing to hang the medal to launch the first phone with RAW format. Something that, contrary to what can be read out there on the Motorola ZN5 Motozine , yet no one has dared to present. Although this is an interesting feature that allows more control over the final image (instead of the Canon lp-e6 camera or the phone to process the photo, it delivers the file “raw” to reveal it to the user), there is no be launched from the rooftops.
Nor should we forget that, if captured in RAW image processing is not optional. Whether the computer or the mobile, the user will have to go through this process of “revealed” to get a JPEG image. Naturally to certain users of Casio np-100 cameras, but that grates a bit on the usual dynamics of capture with a mobile, where often the priority is to upload the image to the network soon.
Although the evidence on the HTC plans are more consistent than ever, requires experience with tweezers to pick up this type of information. In addition to the famous case of that model of Motorola, without going further, Omnivision late last year showed an 8-megapixel sensor with 1080p video and RAW format which he has not known anything else. In fact, although the specifications of various sensors designed for Casio np-20 include the option to capture in RAW, that does not mean that manufacturers then transfer this function to the end device.
