Yeah, I'm sure the big camera manufacturers are just sitting on their hands wondering how the phone people do it. Especially given that most of the sensors for cameras and phones are made by Sony - am sure the two business units never talk to each other, or technological advances in wafers affect both of them - that'd never happen.

@miro_o not wrong in this, at the moment an increasing number of people are using their phone as a camera than carrying another camera, I wagers that the sales of digital camera will start to slow down in the near future (not completely as there are still a market), why would you buy a compact digital camera when your phone is ample enough to take photo with?

Yes, smartphone CMOS sensors get all the r&d. This is how they manage to perform better than the sensor size would suggest.
