Image sensors for machine vision (this is one of the main target markets for this family) are remarkably often "good enough". I think people overestimate the datasheet values when they prefer a x e- dark current sensor over a worse y e- sensor - in most cases this value is irrelevant for machine vision applications when there is enough light and short exposure times. Price is a concern above bare technical specs. Why should I pay for the crazy interface speed of this sensor if I connect a camera over a cable? even for 'highspeed' interfaces like Coaxpress, the G2 is fast enough. if Sony puts the price tag too high, this will leave a lot of market for other vendors (e.g. Gmax or Emerald sensors competing for similar markets, and this sensors are also quite good) - at least thats what i think. In my application the Pregius S does not offer that much more 'real advantage' over the gen 2 that would justify to replace the gen2 cameras. One main argument maybe the larger acceptance angle... but without doubt, the Pregius S is technologically a remarkable, impressive image sensor generation that will have success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-20503893297590594442019-06-13T15:03:02.623+03:002019-06-13T15:03:02.623+03:00I think this comment is too marketing purpose and ...I think this comment is too marketing purpose and should be deleted from this article.<br /><br />Beside that, we are looking forward to the 1st sensor to be released in this family from Sony! ^^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-88535720400454619262019-03-20T23:02:56.451+02:002019-03-20T23:02:56.451+02:00Actually, I block a lot of spam comments well befo...Actually, I block a lot of spam comments well before you see them.

This product line target machine vision, intelligent traffic systems, and global shutter video.<br /><br />The 2.74 µm pixel size is characteristic of the 4th generation Pregius sensors, which were already expected to be back-illuminated. Now it seems that the confirmation of a stacked machine vision sensor has been announced by Sony for the first time. However, there were already "future" directions indicated by Sony at our FRAMOS Tech Days event in early February in San Francisco.<br /><br />Full disclosure: My employer, the FRAMOS Group, is distributor of Sony industrial image sensors in Europe and North America.James Mihaychukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15715427472552097213noreply@blogger.com
