But now, Invensense has invented a camera phone image stabilization device with what it calls the world’s smallest dual axis gyroscope, boiling it down into a wafer-thin chip. The company says it’s five times smaller than piezo-type technology image stabilization currently used in many digital cameras, and will easily fit into even the smallest camera phone."</i><br /><br />Now showing up on smaller point and shoot digital cameras, like my new SD700 IS, is image stabilization for camera phones. Any improvement to phone cameras is welcome. Let's just keep it as "the phone has a camera" as opposed to "the camera has a phone" ok? :D
