Every
time a new camera is announced I calculate it’s price per
megapixel. As you might expect, the trend has been generally
downwards, and when my data set is sufficiently rich I will share the
results with you. Today though I’ve plotted a new low on my chart.
The
Imaging Source have on their website a 13 Megapixel
CMOS USB3 camera
priced at $599.I have to wonder if there’s a typo there somewhere
because at $46/Mp that seems extraordinarily cheap. Now it is a
rolling shutter and it comes with a built-in auto focus lens, but
even so, that’s a lot of pixels for the dollar.

And 1.4 µm pixel size.
1.4 micron pixels? What good is that. Show me a machine vision lens capable of resolving all those pixels. If there were such a thing, it would cost several times more than the camera.
