The "mobile phone with camera" before the smartphone was interesting to evolve its own: ITMEDIA Mobile 20th anniversary special project (page 1/3)
Congratulations on your 20th anniversary.
The first ITmedia Mobile (at that time ZDNET Mobile) was requested in June 2002 (I found out in the HDD).The theme is NTT DOCOMO mobile camera shooting.Since I was contributing to a digital camera on ZDNET JAPAN, I received a request for a comparative article because a camera with a camera was going to be a matter of course.
It's interesting, so I want to pull out the five models at that time.
このときに取り上げた5機種。自撮り用のミラーを搭載している機種の多さに時代を感じさせるCasio's "A3012CA" is 350,000 pixels, and Sharp's "J-SH51" and "SH251I" are 310,000 pixels.The remaining two models were 110,000 pixels.I miss the round shape, the antenna that was essential at this time.
And I summarized the examples at that time in one piece.The interesting thing is that Sharp's J-SH51 and SH251I are both 310,000 pixels, J-SH51 can be taken in VGA size, but SH251i can only be taken up to CIF size (352 x 288).
全部等倍。何と、640×480ピクセル（VGAサイズ）で撮れるのは2機種だけだったのだThis was a restriction on the image size that can be sent by e -mail, so I think it was whether I could take a picture in a more size or not.
Anyway, 19 years is long.
Enter the age of mega pixels from 110,000 pixels
Even if you show the image of 19 years ago, you don't know the scale, so please see it in the past, so there is a rough chronology that I made to write a digital camera article.With the Japanese calendar and the Christian era.
2000年から2008年までの簡単な年表J-SH04 appeared from J-von in 2000.To pursue that, au was released from au (an external camera used by connecting to a mobile phone terminal), and in 2001 a mobile phone with the first camera came out from DOCOMO.It was this year that the word "photo email" came out.
And in 2002, a mobile phone with a camera with a camera of 350,000 pixels was born, and I wrote a comparison article.At that time, the digital camera at that time was a huge hit, and the SLR was 6 million pixels.
And in December 2002, a strange series of mobile phones, which only talked about camera functions, began.
It was already quick to start running because I had already had a goal and achievement of a compact digital camera.In 2002, the 110,000 -pixel camera was still commonplace, but in 2003 it exceeded 1 million pixels and the megapixel era.
At that time, Sharp was pulling a mobile phone with a camera.It was said that the J-SH53 would be a digital camera because it was one million pixels.
Camera competition intensifies, mainly Sharp and Casio
How did it evolve as 1 million pixels?Speaking of which, at this time, Sharp was the first person to incorporate new functions as soon as possible, and the color was flashy and look good.
2003年5月発売。メガピクセルカメラ搭載の「J-SH53」100万画素。この頃シャープの端末は発色が良くて人気が高かったCasio also had only a digital camera maker (at that time), and was focusing.
2003年5月発売のカシオ「A5401CA」。デジタルカメラモードとケータイモードがあって、デジタルカメラモード時は横位置での撮影になるのだったA5401CAでの撮影。何か露出オーバーでつらいAt this time, how was the digital camera (the first EXILIM of Casio) with the same pixels?
カシオの初代EXILIM。同じカシオでもこれだけ違ったのだThere was still a difference.
By the way, many people may remember this yellow elephant slide as a fixed point example every time.At one point, a manufacturer asked me, "Where are you shooting?"
That is a horse -park in Setagaya Ward.However, since Horse Park has become an equestrian venue for the Tokyo Olympics, renovation work has been started, and maybe the trace is probably gone now.That's why there are no slides examples in recent years.
あのカメラブランドを冠するモデルも
