Take a look at the SD10 camera recently release by Sigma

www.sigmaphoto.com has specs. The sample photos look very good.

This camera uses a CMOS based Foveon image chip instead of the older
CCD.

Just use foveon in any search engine to get the ideas.

Some are asserting that CMOS will kill CCD so there will be a market
turnover real soon now. There is a brief review in the Feb 2004
Computer Shopper that talks about, among other things, greatly increased
battery life. There are drawbacks as well.

All this is currently available only in SLR's as far as I know.
