Digital camera chipmakers fight for domination

Seeing a parallel between the PC processor wars that Intel eventually won (sort of) and the current battle between digital camera chipmakers, CNET has a story about how the digital camera industry has essentially become divided into two camps: companies like Sony and Canon that make their own image processors, and everyone else that relies on chips from third party manufacturers like NuCore and Texas Instruments.  So the key moment to look for is when someone like Sony starts using third-party chips, which may eventually become necessary to meet demand.  Then, as CNET
puts it, we might see the Intel of digital photography emerge.
