Nikon Sensor Design

[ptomsu]

I found this article on Imaging-Resource from Dave Etchells, which describes in pretty detail how Nikon designs their sensors. It also shows that they are far from taking off the shelf pieces and do a lot of work in many different areas of the design process. Makes it very clear that there is a totally different world when it comes to sensors in Nikon cameras compared to other vendors - I think they will do similar things.

I warn you, this is very much into detail - as an electrical engineer myself I enjoyed reading it though .... reminds me back on lot of things I learned some 40 years ago

Interesting read. I'm not into real engineering, but nevertheless I think I could follow most of it.
