Most advanced SoC +sensor

[Amish]

Good evening guys,

Which is a most advances SoC today? Ambarella S5? HiSilicon ? BIONZ X? Any other?

What about sensor - who makes most advanced sensor today? Sony or Omnivision? Is there anybody else out there who makes premium quality imaging sensors? I`m struggling to find a Sony webpage where they list all their available sensor. Can anybody help?

Thank you

Hi.

I suppose there will be reasonably cheap action cam solutions capable 4K30/60 + H.265 in the nearest future. Maybe we will see some new names like Goke from Chinese government. Today's mass-production SoCs like Ambarella S2/S2l (A9/A12) or Hisilicon 3516A can't match all these 3 criteria: price, 4k30 and H.265...

What about Ambarella S5? Is that the most advaned SoC today?

What about imaging sensors - which one is top of the range as of today?

[nutsey]

Yes Ambarella H-series seems to be the most advanced SoCs at the moment, but for some reason products based on these chips are not at the market yet.

The ideal sensor should be like this: Low-cost [email protected] in 1/1.8" size

What about imaging sensor? Sony or Omnivision? And which model?

[nutsey]

Sony IMX117 is the best value for its price.

[Amish]

Ignore the price - which one is latest and most advanced? I canot find a Sony webpage with all their sensors.

[nutsey]

I'd recommend reading this blog.

I'd be happy with an imx185 on a reasonable chipset at this point.

What is best sensor Panasonic MN34120PA or Sony IMX206 ?

[nutsey]

Panasonic is a little bit better in low light.

Original Yi has a sony imx206. If it's a 4k, it's the imx377.

[nutsey]

Z26 revision uses not Sony imx206, but Panasonic mn34120 sensor model.
