Sony
have released the specifications of their ICX282 5 megapixel CDD that
we posted back in November. As we said then "The ICX282 is the latest
in a series of CCD sensors and is the direct progression from the ICX252
seen in many of this years 3 megapixel digital cameras. A leap in resolution
and more interestingly the sensor's size has increased to 2/3" (11
mm diagonally), thus unit size (pixel size) is almost the same (3.4µm
vs. 3.45µm)."
