Here's a CCD for camera mfg.s to use

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems (More info?)

Instead of looking for the traditional camera
accessories, companies like Canon, Nikon, etc,
should consider better quality CCDs as options
to the cheap CCD/CMOS chips they use in base
cameras. CCDs that provide better image quality,
more accurate colour, no hot pixels or fewer, etc.
In light of that, here is the CCD I suggest they
adopt:

The text refers to an 11 mp sensor, the KAI-11000CM, but the sidebar is for
the KAI-2001, which is the 1.9mp you mention. I wonder what the actual
dimensions of the 11000 are?

Good point. Negligeable loss of res. Possibly better performance. Although
from what I read the SLR/c and /n are doing quite well (performance wise) v. the
original 14/n. You still need to put on the A-A and microlenses to get the real
performance.

Cheers,
