Are we becoming Kinectihumans?

A while a go I tryed out new Microsoft upcoming gadget that will change the whole meaning of playing video games, watching movies and nothing is going to be the same anymore. I know you have got it on your mind allready, it's Kinect for Xbox 360 formerly known as a Project Natal.

Canon has developed 120-Megapixel sensor

PC Pro - Canon has developed new sensor for digital cameras, it has 120-Megapixels. APS-H sensor, which is the same type as the Canon EOS-1D, in theory supports the resolution 13.280 x 9.184 or 120 Megapixels. Canon claims, that the number of pixels does not have (big) impact on the responsive times. The improved method of reading from the camera with that sensor is 9.5 fps.

But unfortunately we will not be able to buy camera for every day use with that kind of sensor in near future. Canon has three years ago developed sensor with 50-Megapixels and even those cameras are far away from every day use. They even said, that they have no plans to use those sensors in cameras for home users, but only in so-called commercial products, which are especially emphasized in the medical devices.
