Possibly but to my old eyes, the updated one seems to handle low light conditions better resulting in less noise.
I'm not sure if there's any different in the sensor - there might be - but the real issue is the covering over the sensor. It's some sort of lens. The camera on my Mini 1000 is even worse. It's the worst thing about the Mini 1000; on the other hand, I use a Webcam about once every two years...so I don't care that much.
