CNET has an interesting article on the latest developments in digital camera chips.
'Digital photography could become one of the next big opportunities for the chip industry, at least according to companies that want to bring PC-style economics to the camera industry. Their goal: Become the Intel, or at least the Advanced Micro Devices, of photography.
