The Pixera Picolo (www.pixera.com) is a very small CMOS camera that the
CarlaZone mobile cam (www.thesync.com/carlazone) used to use as part of
the NogaTech (www.nogatech.com) Video on the Go PCMCIA package.  The
camera was really small, but the image was very bad.  The CarlaZone
"upgraded" to the NogaTech USB camera that is thicker than the Picolo, but
uses CCDs and looks a million times better.

The professional "lipstick" cameras (that cost $1500 and up) have amazing
image quality in a very small package.  For instance, the Sony DXCLS1/1
had 470 lines resoltion HyperHAD CCD in a 11mm diameter head.
