1. A digital camera comprising:

  • a plurality of arrays of photodetectors, including;

    a first array of photodetectors to sample an intensity of light for a first integration time;

    a second array of photodetectors to sample an intensity of light for a second integration time; and

    a third array of photodetectors to sample an intensity of light for a third integration time;

    signal processing circuitry, coupled to the first, second and third arrays of photodetectors, to generate a composite image using (i) data which is representative of the intensity of light sampled by the first array of photodetectors for the first integration time, (ii) data which is representative of the intensity of light sampled by the second array of photodetectors for the second integration time, and (ii) data which is representative of the intensity of light sampled by the third array of photodetectors for the third integration time; and

    wherein the first integration time is different than the second integration time.
