Planet82, a Korean company, has created an SMPD image sensor which can operate using a very small amount of light. This sensor will enable photos to be taken in near darkness eliminating the need to use a flash. According to Planet 82, nanotechnology is applied during sensor development enabling them to minimize sensor size and also increase unit pixels integrated in a limited area, which produces higher density as well as lower power consumption.
I am sure for even the amateur photographer, like myself, not having to rely on a flash would be beneficial. There are always times when you try to take a photo and the camera is unable to do so as it is too dark, even when using a flash.
