"current"? I'd say any future sensor technology will behave the same way, as long as ISO is increased by turning the gain up. I'd love for one day to have sensors that are so light sensitive that ISO is increased by having little doors on the front of each photosite open up to allow more area to be exposed. Maybe controlled by miniature hamsters. It would be a CHOS sensor: Complementary Hamster-Operated Semiconductor. --M. -- \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
