High-resolution CCD fits existing camera designs
A
Sharp Microelectronics Europe product story

A new 8Mpixel CCD enables high-pixel-count SLR cameras and currently leads the compact digital camera industry.
The Sharp IC Group has developed an 8Mpixel CCD (RJ21V3BA0ET), with standard 1:1.8 type optical format, that enables high-pixel-count SLR cameras, and which currently leads the compact digital camera industry.
The photo chip allows users to shoot still images with 8Mpixel resolution or to take videos in VGA format at a rate of 30 frames per second.
In the ever-evolving digital camera market, the entry model has progressively become more highly pixelated and the high-end single-lens reflex models have been tagged in a lower price bracket.
And because the new sensor uses the same 1:1.8 type optical format as Sharp's existing 4, 5 and 6Mpixel CCDs, OEMs can produce 8Mpixel digital cameras without having to make any changes to their optical lens systems.
Samples of Sharp's new RJ21V3BA0ET 8Mpixel CCD are already available, and quantity production will start in Q1 2005.
