We all knew it would happen, but nobody really knew how soon. Two professors at the University of Rochester in New York have designed a prototype CMOS chip that uses a fraction of the energy used today, captures better images and can run for years on a single battery. The only question now is how soon it will be implemented in the consumer market. It's likely that the technology will be tested first in wireless security cameras, and, as the chips are developed further, they will look into using them in consumer cameras and cell phones.
