Aptina DR-Pix Technology

Dr. Gennadiy Agranov explains Aptina DR-Pix technology.

Aptina's innovative approach to improving low light performance without compromising image quality utilizes a dynamic response pixel, called Aptina DR-Pix technology. Aptina DR-Pix technology combines two modes of operation in one pixel design -- low conversion gain mode for large charge handling capacity in bright scenes and a high conversion gain mode with increased sensitivity and low read noise for low-light scenes. The result is a sensor, like the company's 16MP MT9H004, that offers the best possible noise performance over all ISO speed conditions.

So when will we finally see this great product in a compact camera ? Which brand will adopt it ? I would perhaps wait to buy a new camera if only I had an idea about the introduction date.
