More Megapixels, Smaller Cameras

People love compact digital cameras--the smaller and more full-featured, the better. Expect to see a handful of pocket-size cameras in 2003 boasting resolutions up to 5 megapixels and able to produce sharp, highly detailed photographs. Among the leaders of this trend are Kyocera and Olympus. Kyocera's $600 Finecam S5 offers 5-megapixel resolution and features a slick brushed-silver body that fits in the palm of your hand, ? la Canon's popular PowerShot Digital Elph series. Olympus's $599 Camedia C-50 Zoom has 5-megapixel resolution, too, but it's slightly wider than the Finecam. Both should be available now.

This year, digital cameras should make their way into more PDAs, cell phones, MP3 players, and other devices, either as a built-in feature or as an attachable component. Sanyo, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Olympus, and Sony are among the vendors introducing these camera-enabled devices.
