The world’s smallest camera measures merely 1mm for its colour CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide silicon) digital output video sensor, sparking new hopes for smaller and slimmer digital cameras, and possibly better quality pin-hole cameras in the near future.

The micro-miniature lens system is integrated directly into the sensor to produce a color camera that is smaller than the head of a wooden matchstick. The sensor can be tailored to produce high resolution full-screen images in both normal and low-light situations.

This digital imaging breakthrough makes it possible to produce the best possible image for many micro applications including miniature medical, surveillance, military and industrial applications. ACMI, the developer, is in the process of integrating this technology into its own line of endoscopy products.

In looking at the results of the test shots, we found nothing spectacular, but nothing offensive, either. There was a little noise in both the daylight and the flash shots, though it wasn’t very distracting. Color saturation and accuracy were adequate. To its credit, the HP Photosmart M417 produced images with very little fringing, and no other artifacts that we could discern. Unfortunately, the daylight image had a little too much contrast, which obscured the details in the shadowy areas of our still-life model. The flash image looked better, with good, even coverage.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z750’s zoom covers 7.9 mm to 23.7 mm (a 35-mm equivalent of 38 mm to 114 mm), with an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/5.1. But what you’ll notice first is the EX-Z750’s very large 2.5-inch LCD, with adjustable brightness settings. We could see the image on the LCD even in bright light, but we appreciate that the camera also has a tiny viewfinder, a feature many manufacturers seem eager to remove from their ultracompacts. We feel it’s still a useful thing to have. We were glad to see that the USB cradle, which you’ll need to connect the camera to your PC, is fairly sturdy.
