OmniVision builds a better webcam

OmniVision's new low-light camera for notebooks

If you’ve ever talked to anyone on a regular notebook webcam, you know that the picture rarely looks as good as it does in demos.  When it comes to any camera, lighting is always very important.

OmniVision introduced the OV7740 today, January, 13.  This is an imaging solution that claims to have the “industry’s best low-light sensitivity.”  If it works, people will have video chats that will be easier to see with regular light.

There is no information as to which companies will use the OmniVision, but the company thinks this will be useful in toys, surveillance, and security as well as notebook computers.
