Sony has just announced the Exmor IMX060PQ CMOS sensor, which paired with its matching auto-focus lens module (IU060F), will turn some lucky handset into a 1/3.2, 12.25 megapixel shooter when it enters the race in March 2009.
Conflicting information in
Sony's announcement. They announced two sensors. The 1/3.2" is an 8 MP while the 12 MP is 1/2.5" (thank goodness!).
The 8 MP may be the one used in the C905!

I thought the C905 used a Samsung-branded sensor?

^^^ AFAIK, the older prototypes used a Samsung sensor. SE replaced it with the EXMOR sensor later and at the same time simplified the camera UI.

I dont think the sensor has to do anything with the UI, unless you count in the ISO.
Hasnt samsung announced a 12 mp camphone for 2009 too??

IIRC, Samsung's flagship has 10MP and 3x optical zoom.

That's what I was referring to. They dropped the manual ISO selection.
Without actually knowing why they did this, my own theory is that they needed to speed up the development (by simplifying the camera UI software) since they changed sensor type so late. (The more cynical would say that Sony's sensor was not capable of using the higher ISOs of the Samsung sensor so they simply removed the option...)

Anyone wont be that cynical, seeing that even the K850/c902 had manual iso's.
