SUMMARY

Sony has launched the IMX908, the first sensor in its new STARVIS 3 range, designed specifically for security cameras and dash cams. This 1/2.8-inch, 8.4-megapixel sensor utilizes proprietary LOFIC (Lateral OverFlow Integration Capacitor) pixel technology. Sony claims this results in significantly better low-light performance and a dynamic range of up to 96dB in a single shot, without the need for multiple exposures. These advancements make it ideal for capturing challenging driving conditions, building on the success of previous STARVIS sensors in the dash cam market.
