Thanks for your answers.
We already designed cameras with kodak and micron sensors. We are just
interested in the differences of commercial and DSRL sensors.
Dalsa does not sell its cmos megapixel sensor at the moment, as far as
I know.

ST also make CMOS sensors, typenr. starts usually with VV. I have seen 
them mostly in low end products.

You can contact them directly. Most of the camera  companies have
industrial parts.

There are also some other companies that make very good imaging
sensors that are available. Kodak and Dalsa are two companies that
come to mind

Dalsa made the sensors on the Mars's rovers and make a lot of
different sensors.

Kodak sells similar sensors as a component. They even have sensors
which are even more advanced than is currently used in DSLRs. 
These sensors are quite pricy though.

Ask them....

Also, you will find there are  many other sensors available from many 
other companies for all sorts of applications. They may be a LOT easier 
to get your hands on and a lot more suitable for your application.

Hi everyone,

the great DSLR camera manufacturers like CANON or Sony equip their
camera now with CMOS sensors.
I could find out, that they develop their sensors on their own.

Does anybody know do they also sell their sensors for custom designs?

Thanks in advance,

Wolfgang Kopp
