Call it the law of Nature, but we do not mind if new things do away with the traditional ones for the better. Perhaps, you will not see the ubiquitous light-sensing charge-coupled devices, or CCDs in the near future as new high-performance chips are slowly raising their fangs.

Micron Technology will soon unveil its 8-megapixel image chip sensor that will allow cell phones and cameras to capture 10 high-quality images in a single second or 30 frames per second at a resolution of 2-megapixels along with high-definition video.
The latest high-end thumbnail-sized digital sensor dubbed as "complementary metal-oxide semiconductor" or CMOS is cheap and low power consuming.
