What is Digic image processor?
Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit (often styled as “DiG! C”) is Canon Inc.’s name for a family of signal processing and control units for digital cameras and camcorders. DIGIC units are used as image processors by Canon in its own digital imaging products.
Which type of image sensors are more faster?
CMOS sensors can potentially be implemented with fewer components, use less power, and/or provide faster readout than CCD sensors. They are also less vulnerable to static electricity discharges.
Which sensor type is best for camera?
35mm Full-Frame Full-frame sensors are available in both DSLR and mirrorless cameras. They have the same dimensions as the 35mm film, hence the name. The 35mm full-frame sensor type is the gold standard among professional photographers who want the highest-quality images.
Does the DIGIC III have a different processor than other cameras?

What is the difference between a Snapdragon and a DIGIC chip?
Actually there are many similarities between a Snapdragon and DIGIC chip. ARM is a family of RISC processors and Snapdragon and DIGIC chips both utilize the ARM instruction set.

What do you think about the Canon DIGIC?
Canon puts their Digic into their movie cameras and P&S cameras. It maintains very good sharpness (450D) even in beginning level cameras IMO. What do u think? Digic is the name of an actual processor chip. So it made perfect sense for Canon to name each iteration of their chip, like Intel & AMD does for computer processors.
