Re: Is Canon G series still relevant?

It's all about money. It's not necessarily about what is technologically possible, it's about what you can make that people can still afford. There are a ton of really awesome technologies that would make cameras amazing, but unfortunately the same level of perfection that we use when putting things in space can't be used on consumer electronics. Why not use diffractive optics in point and shoots to make tiny lenses? If it could miniaturized for a reasonable amount of money, it would have been done already.
