I am so glad everyone here knows so much about running a wireless carrier. Honestly though, I hope the iPhone goes through the roof... at that point it will be too commonplace for the hipsters to like it and it will be uncool. Then, FINALLY, we can stop hearing about it.
I hope it comes... if only for the trickle down effect to happen quicker. I got my D200 last fall, and love it (18-200VR, ironcially use a 1.4 50mm as much). proabably time for something new in a year or so (I like to buy things - haha)
However, I don't really agree that it's going to be a full-sized sensor - if EnhanceYourCalm's ideas would be the reason for that push. From what I understand, it's heat that creates the noise - and like with Intel and AMD they (CMOS/CCD makers) are succesfully packing more and more pixels into the same size package, lowering heat and lowering power consumption.
I think that image quality and larger sensors do go hand-in-hand, hence the popularity of digital backs on medium format cameras, but as the bell curve peaks you will see smaller sensors with image quality that shows the limits of the glass, cameras that can take 1000's of shots on a charge all mounted inside extremely compact cameras.
My uncle work(ed)(s) on this as an engineer. He was describing how they created a different method for getting high-contrast LCD displays in direct sunlight. Didn't quite understand all of it but it had something to do with removing layers of the 'normal' LCD display and using touchscreen layers as replacement.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
