I was quite surprized to read about the "most sensitive camera of the world"
in my mainstream web newspaper. Apparently a former PhD student from Canada
named Olivier Daigle has come up with a new type of EMCCD that has a lot
less noise that traditional ones, and has been bought "by the NASA" (quoting
the article here...). He has started a company named Nüvü that
commercializes the camera. You can find it on the company's website :
http://www.nuvucameras.com/en/en/Products.html
along with a spec sheet. I'm not a specialist so i was wondering what part
of it is hyped PR and what part is real innovation. So I'd be happy to have
the opinion of imaging specialists, what do you think ?

Thank you
