We have a great talent pool in these United States. Unfortunately for us tax payers, it doesn't reside in the Federal Government.Private inventors, such as this man, will always beat out GS-whatever level government engineers or scientists simply because the private man or woman does it for the love of doing it with little or no thought to compensation. And my hat is off to these backyard inventors and amateur scientists. May they build and invent forever.

I agree with rblee. I to own a G9 and am thrilled with the stuff it can do! I have taken pictures for over fifty years, yes that's five followed by a zero. I started with a Kodak Brownie (use goggles history function for you young guys)then a Graphics 35mm then Miranda Sensorex, Nikon F, Rollie twinlens, Minolta 700 with all the lenses and accessories, Agfa digital, Kodak C330 digital and now finally the Canon G9.I find it does everything I need it to and more. It's rugged, fast and has a cult following guarantying all sorts of neat accessories. As for more pixels, yes, we don't need more, we need bigger so the noise levels are down due to less amplification. But you guys that love those multi lens, mirrored boxed penta-prismed transportable imaging gathering photo collection devices you love to call DSLR's are doomed. You heard it here first. Hahaha...yes...doomed.

I'm not sure why this article fails to mention this stunt was done years ago by American scientists using whiskey. But my real question is this:what happened to all those promises of sharper tools and longer lasting cutting edges? Did the DOD see a good thing and gobble it up before it could be exploited in the civilian market? Just a thought.
