Sony Defines its Starvis Sensor Category

Sony publishes a short presentation explaining what sensors belong to Starvis class:

  1. This information does look a little old. I wonder how the new IMX462 compares with IMX290.

    1. IMX390 has been announced in 2017, but its mass production started just a year ago:

  2. Just to add, there is an excellent HDR sensors review by Dana:

    I'm still thinking how to post it in the blog. There are too many good slides and it's hard to select a subset.

  3. Dear Sony,
    the age of CCD is long gone, so could you please stop using mV to quantify sensitivity? None of your sensors make voltages available at the output, so even if the measurement conditions were repeatable, no one could verify the result.
    I get that even though the image sensor market is rapidly evolving some traditions are hard to leave behind, best example would be the quite flexible sensor diagonal "inch". But when seeing such slides I can not be the only one who thinks "Thank you, but where is the EMVA1288 data?"

  4. Dear Sony,

    The age of CCD is long gone, so could you please keep using mV to quantify sensitivity considering that it's the easiest way to compare old and new sensors performances...

    Thanks !

  5. Why only 2x DCG? it doesn't help much.
