ImageOmniVision has been on a bit of a tear introducing new mobile camera sensors this week, and its newest could well have the biggest impact on smartphones in the next year. The OV12830\'s 12.7 megapixels don\'t make it as dense as the 16-megapixel sensors we\'ve seen, but it makes up for that with some mighty fast still photography. As long as the attached phone can handle it, the CMOS sensor can snap full-resolution photos at 24 frames per second, or the kind of relentless shooting speed that would make One X and Galaxy S III fans happy. The same briskness musters 1080p video at 60 fps, even with stabilization thrown in. Production won\'t start until the fall and likely rules out a flood of 12.7-megapixel phones and tablets until 2013, but the OV12830\'s dead-on match for the size of current 8-megapixel sensors gives it a good shot at becoming ubiquitous -- and guarantees that phones won\'t need a giant hump on the back for a higher resolution.
