Hi Karten,
On my side, I would say we have now plenty of choice regarding cameras and sensors.

The breakthough will be with sensors able to fully use the usb 3.1 gen 2 interface with 10gbps. I am afraid this is something to deal with Sony.

Sensors with higher quantum efficiency in near UV would be great too. But again, this is something to deal with Sony, and not sensor integrators.

Just have had an interesting phone call with an expert working for LUNT formerly:

There are three parameters creating the pattern on the IMX178 and IMX183 sensor:
1. as Marty said: there seems to be a mask on the sensor and the red pixels are brighter than the others.
2. The distance between protection glass and sensor may cause a pattern
3. the thickness of the protection glass

This explains, why some do not experience these problems: the distances, thickness and the pixels do not add to a pattern due to specific parameters. Other cameras unfortunately are out of this tolerance and create these patterns...


My greatest fear is being married alive.
