I found the following snippet on the net (on the www.dpreview.com site)- "Casio has today announced its first camera to incorporate ceramic lens technology, which has a higher refractive index and is stronger and thinner than glass …. (it) is the smallest 2.8x optical zoom camera in the world, just 17mm thick".
I wonder what this new technology may bring to binocular design. I doubt if we'll see any significant improvements in optical quality, but might it bring a reduction in overall size or weight? Do some of our resident experts have the answer?

I read that as well. Probably means that we will have Wedgewood or Crown Derby lenses in our optics in future?
