CMOS(互补金属氧化物导体)很早之前就开始使用在计算机领域,CPU和内存就是由CMOS组成的,1998年开始CMOS才开始使用在CIS图像传感器领域。

而CIS图像传感器、镜头、图像处理器组成了相机的成像铁三角,CMOS被称为数码相机的视网膜,在单反数码相机领域CMOS的技术更是在很大程度上决定着产品的优劣。

而画幅指的是相机的传感器大小,传感器用来收集光信号。传感器越大,收集光线的能力越强,画质就越好。全画幅也叫做135画幅或小画幅,主要是相对中画幅的120画幅,和大画幅,它们的尺寸关系如下:大画幅尺寸是100x130㎜;中画幅是54×40㎜,48×36㎜,44×33㎜,小画幅则是24×36㎜。

而单反全画幅CIS芯片也是与手机摄像头CIS的APS-C芯片区别的关键,不过为了跟手机拍照体验类似,很多CIS芯片厂商也在单反相机推出了120 APS-C芯片。

首颗1.8亿像素全画幅CIS芯片的出货,显示思特微在单反相机领域也开始发力。国产单反相机芯片的推出,将直接挑战当前由国外品牌主导的高端摄影市场,将极大地提升国内摄影器材的国际竞争力,让世界看到中国品牌在高技术领域的实力。

除思特微外,此前行业也有消息透露,海思芯片也将推出其单反相机芯片,并与无人机巨头大疆合作,联合推出单反相机。
