The Image Processor Wars

Mark Goldstein | Digital | February 4, 2005 | 0 Comments

CNET News are running an interesting story on the use of image processors, looking at which digital camera manufacturers make their own and which use chips from 3rd partys like Pixim, Texas Instruments and NuCore.

“So far, progress is proceeding in a bottom-up fashion. NuCore has landed deals with Contax, Kyocera and JVC, among others, and has shipped a million chips since production began in 2001. Texas Instruments maintains comfortable relationships with Kodak and HP, the top two U.S. manufacturers, and sells its chips for use in cameras from Olympus and Samsung.”
