1. Sony 1/2. 8” Progressive CMOS + ISP + Hi-3516
In this combination, with the CMOS sensor delivering 1080p video at 30 fps driven by Hisilicon Technologies' SoC based on ARM Cortex A9 800 MHz, the ISP is actually the game changer, whether it is embedded on the SoC or comes from an independent provider such as Nextchip. Differences in picture quality can then be seen in color rendition, WDR/BLC and edge VCA — an area where one can determine a camera manuf...
