Reported over the weekend, Canon are building a 55 billion yen ($451 million) factory in Japan to double its production capacity of image sensors used in digital cameras. The significance of this is that Canon will be manufacturing complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) sensors for both Digital SLRs and compact digital cameras.
