New digital camera chip slashes power consumption 50x

I recent got a new toy. To replace my old 2 megapixel digital Elph I bought a new Canon S80. I still wanted something that fit in a pocket and this seemed to be the best around. I also picked up an ATP 133x 1GB SD card for $95. I'll be playing with it on my upcoming vacation.

But of course, today engadget announces that two researchers at the University of Rochester have a prototype of a new digital camera chip slashes power consumption 50x. So I guess I should expect better cameras in about 2 years. But that would have happened anyway.
