Scalado Promises to Finally Kill Irritating Phone Camera Lag [Phone Cameras]
Gizmodo —
... they've managed to eliminate it by constantly recording and displaying actual JPG images of the frame in real time. In other words, when you take a picture, rather than calling the camera to snap a completely new hi-res image, the Scalado Camera Engine simply saves what you can already see. Popular sensor makers Aptina, OmniVision Samsung and MtekVision are already licensing with the tech, so your camera phone experience might become slightly more bearable before too long.

Scalado takes aim at camera phone shutter lag
Boing Boing Gadgets —
Even expensive camera-phones suffer lag because their slow, complex operating systems have work to do before the hardware even knows it's supposed to be taking a picture. Scalado solved this problem by having the shutter open first, and having photos captured from the data stream. As a bonus, camera-phones get high quality, real-time live preview.

Zero shutter lag camera for cell phones, says Scalado
CrunchGear —
... ability of the camera to handle JPEG data, allowing it to, in camera mode, essentially take a continuous motion JPEG, recycle it through the cache, and then save just the frame during which you depress the capture button. Other cameras, like the Casio EX-F1, do the same thing with more data, but the concept is the same (if I’m right). If this works, it’ll be a major improvement on cameraphones, although I get the feeling it won’t improve battery life.

Scalado demonstrates zero-lag cellphone camera
Engadget —
... moment (or romantic indiscretion), the Scalado Camera Solution not only takes nigh-on instantaneous photos, but also provides high quality, real-time preview, pan and zoom. With several camera phone sensor and module manufacturers (including Aptina, OmniVision Samsung, and MtekVision) already on the SpeedTags tip, it looks like that laggedy old camera phone may soon be a thing of the past. Don't believe us? Take a look at the demo video yourself. It's after the break. [Via Slashphone] ...
