Camera Phones Dominate Image Sensor Market

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
In-Stat of Scottsdale, Ariz., a provider of research on business, product and technology decisions, reported that the 2006 image sensor market saw strong growth, primarily thanks to the camera phone, which comprised more than three-quarters of all image sensors shipped. Because these phones were in demand, CMOS sensors dominated CCDs in units shipped in 2006. CCDs continued to dominate the point-and-shoot camera market, though, while the digital-single-lens reflex market has been transitioning to CMOS sensors, led by Canon, which exclusively uses its own CMOS sensors.
