As the digital camera continues to evolve into the next generations of capture technology, the drive to add more pixels and more features continues unabated. While some industry experts have expected the pixel race to have concluded by now, PMA 08 showed the race is still being run.
Also, as sensors have expanded from recording still images, the versatility of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology is coming into play. CMOS sensors, once relegated to low-resolution devices, are now used in high-end DSLRs. Further, high-end cameras and DSLRs are now fitted with impressive image processing technology, taking on ...
