Technology
Some camera phones use CMOS image sensors, due to largely reduced power consumption compared to CCD type cameras, which are also used.
Images are usually saved in the JPEG file format, and the wireless infrastructure manages the sharing. The lower power consumption prevents the camera from quickly depleting the phone's battery.
