Yeah, but you don’t need 50 megapixel camera to see what horrible POTUS Mr. Obama is.

Miniaturize them and put them into a pair of glasses a soldier wears and then send the images to a mainframe to analyze potential threats in the field of view. Heck, create a database of everyone it sees, their location and proximity to one another and then analyze the data to locate possible threats and blackmail subjects. Put them in drones that hover on the weekend over gun ranges and follow subjects back to their homes. The possibilities are limitless.
