With the current level of scientific technologies, can we make a camera as small as a rice?

Anything is possible. The problem with a camera the size of a grain of rice is, how do you take the picture?

Oh there would be plenty of uses.

Oristar, well if you're talking about ultrasound cameras, then yes, in fact the world's smallest are smaller than a grain of rice, and they're used to scan the insides of coronary arteries, etc.

But if you're talking about light-based imaging, it may be possible but there's nothing like that available on the market right now.

Here's the world's smallest one million pixel camera phone module (6 months ago): www.3g.co.uk/PR/Sept2003/5782.htm

Sharp is also the company that perfected the liquid crystal (LCD) television screen/computer monitor.

Someone was just telling me today about cell phone radio/bluetooth/wifi receivers the size of a grain of sand. And it could be made smaller!

With nano technology, almost anything is possible.
