I've just read this article, and if it's true we could finally have decent low-light shooting performance! No details as to resolutions or grainyness yet, but looks promising for future sensor chips...

I think if it's not true, it will be in the near future. There are some things that in analogical photography where impossible that we will see on digital photography, and I think this one will br one of them.

Nanotechnology? Sounds interesting :)

I had the sneaking suspicion I'd seen an announcement like this before... in fact, I had. It's pretty old "news." The company is Planet82, in conjunction with the ETRI (Electronics Technology Research Institute) and the original announcement dates back to at least November 2005.
FWIW, I'm *very* skeptical of the claims for sensitivity and noise. They seem to exceed the limits on noise imposed by Poisson statistics for photon arrival. They advertise no specification for S/N ratio, and that's telling. Also telling is that they've been touting it since 2005 and no visible products yet. |

Yeah, you gotta watch out for those Poisson stats. They'll getcha every time.

Sounds expensive! Question though is 1-Lux a really low measure of light? Kind of lower then the lumen scale? |

Without light there is no color. Awkwardly put, an object absorbs all the light in the color spectrum except that which is reflected back to the viewer. If there is no light then there is nothing to reflect.
So I am skeptical about any cliam of vibrant colors in very low light. |

Les poissons
Les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop
And to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out the bones
Ah mais oui
Ca c'est toujours delish
Les poissons
Les poissons
Hee hee hee
Hah hah hah
With the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes
Don't you?
