Sensor quality

Apropos of Trent’s noise post, I have been blown away by how far sensor technology is coming these days.  This evening I shot some images on a walk around Sugarhouse Park from my cell phone… A 5MP image from an iPhone 4, not even the latest 4s with a physical sensor the size of a pin head.  Crazy…  Pretty soon one might imagine multiple smaller sensors distributed on a larger surface and their individual images digitally composited and processed to make a better, higher quality image.  What will that mean for photojournalism?  We are rapidly approaching a time when the phrase, “images straight outta the camera” will not really mean what we have come to expect that phrase to mean.
