Whilst this is genuinely amazing work and very exciting, I would just like to point out a few things. The comparable tech in digital cameras is not limited to tripods and static scenes as stated, some cameras can do this hand-held. Shifting pixels 4 times results in increased detail, however Olympus and Panasonic’s approach is to shift the sensor 8 times in half-pixel increments, resulting in dramatically increased resolution as well. The main issue with the current implementations in digital cameras is still objects in motion, which camera makers are trying to solve in-software with mixed results. If rumors are to be believed there are advances on the way for this tech in digital cameras, particularly in relation to shutter speed and perhaps low light, but I don’t think you’ll see this trickle down to cheaper models for a few years yet.
