Sensorikamera

Sensorikamera is a term that generally refers to a camera that utilizes an electronic sensor to capture images. This distinguishes it from older photographic technologies that relied on film. The core component of a sensorikamera is its image sensor, which is a semiconductor chip that converts light into electrical signals. These signals are then processed and stored as digital data, forming the image.

There are two primary types of image sensors commonly found in sensorikameras: CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor). CCD sensors were historically dominant and are known for their high image quality and low noise, particularly in low light. However, they consume more power and are more expensive to manufacture. CMOS sensors have become increasingly prevalent due to their lower power consumption, faster readout speeds, and lower manufacturing costs. Modern CMOS sensors have significantly closed the gap in image quality, making them the standard in most consumer and professional cameras today.

Sensorikameras are ubiquitous, found in everything from smartphones and digital cameras to security systems and scientific imaging equipment. The development of sensor technology has been a driving force behind the digital photography revolution, enabling higher resolutions, better low-light performance, and a wide range of advanced features such as high-speed shooting and advanced autofocus. The ongoing evolution of sensor technology continues to push the boundaries of image capture capabilities.
