Questions, questions......

Some questions about our current cameras:

Presumably we have (1) a detector, (2) a processor, (3) some memory, (4)
some other little things to make them all talk to each other and the outside
world....

My questions are:

(a) What are the constraints on (2) and (3), presumably it's something like
Power Consumption and Speed.

(b) In terms of state-of-the-art, how powerful is (2) (in comparison to,
say, a Pentium III - I know, it's hard to do direct comparisons).

(c) Presumably the maximum addressable memory is determined by power
consumption and the processor type as well - what are the typical limits you
can expect for (2) and (3) and why did we make those design choices, rather
than some others?

(d) Do we have to take any other effects into account, such as cooling, when
designing a camera package?


Thanks,

Ummmmmmmm ... Maybe you might get a half-decent response if you posted this
in a newsgroup about cameras.

Robinson,

For a computer a camera is only a type of input device.

Normally it handles medium ammount of data.

I don't see any other thing that can be involved.
