We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital Cameras",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Digital cameras provide a range of frame rates from
Sony Europe - Image Sensing Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Sony XCD-U100 B and W and XCD-100CR colour models feature 1600 x 1200 UXGA resolution from the 1/1.8 type progressive scan interline technology CCD sensor".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Software manages inspection data from
GE Inspection Technologies: "Rhythm Visual is compatible with imaging equipment including video borescopes, pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) cameras and other digital cameras".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Nikon UK
concerning its MM400/800 manual metrology microscopes
- take a look at Metrology microscopes automatically correct errors
which says: "The MM400/800 series of manual metrology microscopes offers through-the-lens laser autofocus (TTL Laser AF), automatic edge detection and white LED illumination".
Take a look also at the news release from Moritex Europe, Waterproof probes illuminate cavities,
as well as IR window handles 50kA arc fault from Hawk IR International,
and Speedy cameras aid slow-motion analysis from BFi Optilas.
