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

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. . -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ /\/\/ chris@phaedsys.org www.phaedsys.org \/\/\ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

They even have sensors which are even more advanced than is currently used in DSLRs. These sensors are quite pricy though. Regards Anton Erasmus

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. Regards -- Walter Banks Byte Craft Limited Tel.

I have seen them mostly in low end products. Wim
