This is incredible! A company called SPI has developed a camera so absurdly sensitive that the thing can shoot on a moonless night and make the resulting footage look like it was shot under the sun. And the X27, as it's called, does this in real time, in full color. Take a look at this:

Look at how the X27—which is capable of an insane 5,000,000 ISO—stacks up against conventional night vision in this side-by-side shot:

Here's a longer video of the X27 versus competing technologies with more side-by-side comparisons:

The difference is, quite literally, night and day. And while Hollywood could save a bundle on lighting costs here, it is of course the military that's going to get first crack at this.
