New 8-Megapixel Imaging Chip From Micron

The idea of shooting up to 10 frames per second at a resolution of 8-megapixels or 30 frames per second at a 2-megapixel resolution using a consumer grade digital camera is an inviting prospect from Micron. Here is an article regarding Micron's recent announcement of a new sensor that can achieve these results. This could greatly increase the capability of 150-300 dollar digital point-and-shoot camera models. Even though I love film, the digital photo world just keeps getting better and better. I'm still waiting for the new Sony Alpha DSLR (Minolta Maxxum mount support) with baited breath.
