http://www.alexbernstein.com/images/digic.jpg∞Canon's own DIGIC is clearly visible on the board.
Writing on the larger chip:
NEC
D82434S 1023
FH4-1368
0236KU203
I've contacted NEC customer support for the datasheet, but their reply was:
> Thank you for your interest in our NEC products. Sorry, this is a custom device and we don't have a general datasheet for the device.
This device is probably Cell Based IC∞from NEC uPD82000 family∞. Cell Based ICs are programable devices similar to FPGAs and NEC has "cores" available that simulate NEC V30 Processor∞, handle JPEG compression, and support USB communcation. String "V30 Firmware Version" can be found in A:\CAMERA.EXE. NEC V30 is 80186 compatible.
More evidence∞ that NEC Cell Based ICs are used in digital cameras. Drawing of the camera on that page looks a lot like Canon A60/A70/A80.
