I don&#x27;t see them competing with SLRs. You&#x27;ll need a lot of small sensors to capture as much light as a one big SLR sensor.<p>However, it&#x27;s impossible to put larger sensors in thin phones because of the size of the optics, so putting a few small sensors and doing magic in software is a way to overcome this. I can believe that we&#x27;ll be seeing this technology coming to phones in the not to distant future.
