Power usage and heat dissipation will still be a problem. The faster the chip and the more tightly packed the components the more heat is generated as a byproduct. Even using advanced design techniques the current generation of computer chips will get hot enough to cook them- selves without proper ventilation. If Juan's specs are met within 5 years I bet the camera looks a lot like that silly Spotmatic wall hanging that sold on e-bay recently to hold a refrigeration unit and multiple fans.
