Micron announced two new sensors featuring HD video capture along with high-resolution stills. Both sensor use 2.2um pixels.
The 5MP MT9P401 sensor (or MT9P041 in a different source), which fits into a 1/2.5" optical format, is capable of capturing HD video at 60fps in 720p binning mode. For burst-mode the sensor snaps 15 still photos in rapid sequence.
The 1/4.5" 1.6MP MT9M002 sensor is targeted to camcorder applications. It captures 60 fps in 720p format and delivers excellent low noise performance. The sensor works with long-range zoom lenses (10x-30x). The sensor also has additional pixel area for image stabilization, which reduces the effect of shaky and blurred images typically caused by jittery hands or camera-shake. There is approximately 50 percent additional active pixel boundary area to support image stabilization.
Simultaniously Micron announced that its 8MP 1.75um pixel MT9E001 sensor is in mass production now. Its prototype was announced in May 2006 with promise to start its mass prodution on Fall 2006. The newly announced sensors are sampling now with mass production expected in Q3 2007.
