Sony has today updated its CCD datasheets to include some of the newer 1/2.7" and 1/3.2" CCD sensors which are likely to be used in many new ultra-compact digital cameras announced over the next month. Every year sensor manufacturers increase pixel count and reduce sensor size to give us ever smaller, higher resolution digital cameras. This year we have already seen five megapixels in a 1/1.8" type CCD and three megapixels in a 1/2.7" type CCD.
