32. A digital camera comprising:

  • a plurality of arrays of photo detectors, including;

    a first array of photo detectors to sample an intensity of light; and

    a second array of photo detectors to sample an intensity of light;

    a first lens disposed in an optical path of the first array of photo detectors;

    a second lens disposed in an optical path of the second array of photo detectors;

    signal processing circuitry, coupled to the first and second arrays of photo detectors, to generate an image using (i) data which is representative of the intensity of light sampled by the first array of photo detectors, and/or (ii) data which is representative of the intensity of light sampled by the second array of photo detectors; and

    at least one actuator to provide relative movement between the first array of photo detectors and the first lens and to provide relative movement between the second array of photo detectors and the second lens.
