With a smaller image sensor, a lens designed for a 35mm camera captures only the inner part of the image, cropping off the edges that the sub-size sensor chip can't see.
The OM-D EM-5 has a bunch of fun art filters, but the .jpg files right out of the camera are nothing to sneeze at either, and in most cases the limiting factors in image quality are the lens and photographer, not the sensor.
In a typical camera-phone, the image is focused by the lens onto a photosensitive silicon chip.
That first model includes a 42x (24-1, 000mm) optical zoom lens while the latter sports a 30x (22.5-675mm) optic -- both offer lens-based image stabilization.

Canon's PowerShot SX260 HS camera delivers a powerful 20x Optical Zoom and 25mm Wide-Angle lens with Optical Image Stabilization delivers stunning images from up close or at a distance and measuring just 1.29-inches thick.
The Carl Zeiss lens not only delivers spectacular image quality all the way to the edges of each frame, it incorporates a near-silent in-lens shutter and is far more compact than comparable lenses of interchangeable design.
The NX300 also includes i-Depth, an easy and simple way to adjust the depth of an image using the NX Series' unique i-Function system which enables users to modify camera parameters using the lens itself, adjusting the image without ever having to move off target.
In a series of tweets, he says that PureView itself is about "blending optics, pixels and image processing in new and different ways, " hinting at the high-end Carl Zeiss lens and the built-in image processing algorithms that are part of the 808 PureView's camera package.
The smartphone also comes with an amazing 8 megapixel camera so you'll be able to take incredibly vivid pictures and the front-facing camera with ultra-wide-angle lens captures twice the image area to fit more in every shot.

It has a 10x optical zoon lens with an integrated optical image stabilizer.
The image reflection is then focused through a lens, where it is magnified and projected onto the display, where there is virtually no space between pixels.
So they really propose in this rule to slam the door not on existing devices, but anything that uses a lens to magnify a visual image.
They are also fully compatible with the NX series' unique i-Function system, enabling users to control parameters using the lens itself, adjusting the image without ever having to move off target.

The 16.3-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and brighter F2.5 lens help deliver top-notch image quality even in low-light situations without the typical bleaching effect of artificial light.
The inventors couldn't find an off-the-shelf lens big enough to project an image of an automobile, so they had to build one--out of holographic polymer--to do it.
The lens also features OIS to provide image stabilization equivalent to 4 stops, controlling the effect of camera shake and allowing users to seize perfect photo opportunities.

Not just any old periodic table, but the most photographically breathtaking version ever created, encased in sturdy plastic and enlivened by "lenticular technology, " the technique that uses linear lens elements laminated over a specially processed image to create a convincing 3D effect.
The image was taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) during the rover's 44th Martian day, or sol, on Mars (Sept. 19, 2012).
Specification details are also quite spotty at the moment, but we were able to confirm that there will be an Exmor R CMOS image sensor and a wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens on board.

In a conventional optical system, light rays enter through a lens and converge at a point to form an image.
Rounding out Canon's new PowerShot lineup is the PowerShot A2500 digital camera, which includes a 16-megapixel image sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor, as well as a 28mm wide-angle lens with 5x optical zoom that can extend out to 140mm at the telephoto end.

Photos taken with Panasonic's new interchangeable 3D lens can also be viewed in 3D via the 3D Image Viewer.
It touts an impressive array of features including the HS SYSTEM incorporating a 12.1-megapixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 image processor, 1080p Full HD video and a 5x optical zoom lens.
The SL202 and SL30 offer consumers a quality Samsung lens with a 3x optical zoom, as well as Digital Image Stabilization to help reduce blurry images.

"IR cameras cannot 'see' objects or humans behind flames because of the need for a zoom lens that concentrates the rays on the sensor to form the image, " he said.
With this in mind, the PowerShot ELPH 330 HS digital camera builds upon the success of the PowerShot line with built-in advanced wireless capabilities to easily share high-quality images captured with an impressive 10x optical zoom lens and 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS image sensor.
