“Photons to Bits and Beyond: The Science & Technology of Digital Image Sensors"
Now on Youtube as a one-hour overview of the technology covering subjects like:
• how sensors basically work
• the potential risks to society of the technology
• noise
• demosaicing
• diffraction
• the megapixel race
• and that “the force of marketing is greater than the force of engineering”

Thanks to Marc (fotografz) for mentioning the lecture, in another thread on the Sony board.
I think it deserves a broader audience, that's why I post it here.
