Up until now, very large CMOS sensors have not been able to capture video because they needed too much time between receiving and transmitting data.
This is the first Ricoh camera to use a CMOS sensor.
CMOS sensors are also finding their way into a diverse range of low-cost applications that require digital imaging.
CMOS sensors, traditionally, are more susceptible to noise.
CMOS sensors traditionally have lower quality, lower resolution and lower sensitivity.
It also employs a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor, which makes every picture very dark.
It is like the CMOS sensor in a digital camera.
Development of the CMOS sensor and the image processor therefore continued independently.
It will have a smaller 1/2.3 inch 12.4 megapixel CMOS sensor.
The CMOS sensor has a resolution of 1920x1440 for digital still pictures and captures video at 1440x1080 interlaced.
