Thanks guys! This is a better article, but I have certainly learned that the press does not get it all correct, even from press releases (by QEPrize.org)

Congrats! And that article shot me down the rabbit hole of learning about your Quanta sensor. Some very promising stuff, though its likely at least a decade out before we actually see this in a camera simply because CPU image processing might need to take a giant leap forward to handle all that data. I can see it happen earlier in microscopy imaging though! I picture a microscope attached to a computer the size of an ENIAC.
