Canon CMOS in compact cameras.
Hopefully, this will lead to better image quality in compact cameras.

Re: Canon CMOS in compact cameras.
I didn't mean to imply that CMOS sensors are "better" than CCD sensors. From what I've read, CMOS sensors in general have lower noise and better dynamic range, but these differences are very minor. That's not why I posted this.
I read elsewhere (possibly just rumors) that this change might result in slightly larger sensors in compact cameras (maybe even with lower pixel count). If that's true, it really could lead to improvements in image quality. That's what I was getting at. Noise is my biggest complaint about small digital cameras.
Obviously, it's too early to know if this will actually change anything. I just hope that one day one of these camera manufacturers will decide to market a compact camera that is designed more for image quality than gimmicky features.
