Pixel wars again

Photos from Samy's 108 Mpix sensor look bad at ISO 50 and it's all downhill from there. Pixel binning can only compensate for a lack of photons per pixel. It can't compensate for the circuitry and optical compromises.

A lens array (insect eye) could make use of 200 Mpix in a phone's form factor. That would come with some other bonus features, like variable DOF and depth capture, but that's a lot of image processing for current technology.
