Does Silicon Imaging plan on making an S35 size sensor camera?
Silicon Imaging has been developing high-speed and large format cameras beyond 2/3″ chips for several years. We are directly open to customer feedback, and if the our customers demand a larger format camera with its associated higher entry price point, we can do it. The cost of a camera is usually proportionate to the size of the physical pixel array. The bigger the size the fewer parts that can be made on a wafer, and the higher the resulting cost. We designed the SI-2K MINI to satisfy the demands of the bulk of the current market’s cost-to-performance needs. There are always those in the market who can afford significant investments for small incremental performance in specific areas. We feel the innovative feature-set of the SI-2K MINI will provide a satisfactory cost-performance ratio with the added flexibility of a software support architecture that can grow as the market’s needs change.
