Grandma will not be able to fill a wedding album with great shots. Forget lenses, forget sensors, forget depth of field. What about lighting? It all comes down to the photons hitting the sensor. If the photons hitting the first piece of glass suck, the picture will suck on ANY camera, at any price. When comparing cameras (that are made in the same year,) Pro gear will always trump point and shoots. Point and shoots will also trump cellphone cameras. That won't change.

I bet that if such new systems are to have a great future, a number of such alternative projects will have to come together to create a good product.

Medium Format Digital is currently lagging behind DSLR's in terms of ISO sensitivity and noise. This would bring new life and hopefully lower costs in that segment where camera backs cost as much as a car. You can have the greatest lens/sensor combination on the earth and still take badly composed shots. If i give my 12 yr old a $50K tennis racket and set her against Venus Williams with my old Prince racket guess who's going to win the match?

Sure, I don't doubt someone could really creative with a camera phone, and potentially snag a few GREAT shots during a wedding. But the low light situations most wedding photographers face are brutal, and a few good cameras are able to make top notch images in tough situations. I don't see a camera phone being one of them.

All the author is saying is that quality in cell phone pictures is about to take a huge leap forward. You're taking the title way too seriously. Ummm, this is Wired we’re talking about.

When I sayd a G11 with better optics, I refer a better quality and maybe a wider range but not necesary larger, to avoid chromatic aberrations. I'm sure that if this technology really works, a compact camera like G11, or ZS7(TZ10) with this sensor will produce pictures with similar quality to actual Pro DSLRs, and cellphones could produce quality as actual high end compact cameras, perfect for small prints. You dont need a Leica glass in the phone to get an awesome picture, but sure not in all conditions, no zoom no variable depth of field, etc. I think quantum film could be a very good advance for digital photography, SNR could be seriously improved, with this in mind, sure that the noise processing is a lot lighter,faster process, les power required, better quality...
