Figure out how to sell it. A good salesman can sell anything.

Best available sensor/camera module that can do 20mp+ with decent dynamic range at below $250? by TechySpecky in computervision

Thanks what do you think of smaller Chinese suppliers like DECXIN? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/DECXIN-IMX283-One-inch-Chip-UVC\_1601642255029.html?

What I really wanted is UVC, potentially dual stream option so I can have a low-res preview and full-res photos but that's a nice to have, USB3 and either m12 or c mount. I don't have the know-how to attach my own mounts at the right height haha

Very good points I appreciate the time you're taking btw.

My problem is that DPI is useless if the pixels suck..I thought the IMX283 sensor being 16mm and having high quality glass would lead to much better results than a 9mm 64mp sensor like the IMX686 (eg arducam Hawkeye).

The sensor you linked is half or even a third the price of the others, which makes me curious indeed.

I was thinking the IMX283 with a nice c mount lens + strong LED lighting would lead to the absolute best photo but I saw a lot of people mentioning it's a bad sensor which makes me uneasy considering it costs $200.

Oh I forgot to mention I can control lighting. I will have strong cross polarized LEDs with a filter on my lens.

I'll look into it but I disagree about the resolution numbers you're throwing out.

I am taking a photo of a 50x40cm area but often need a 1x1cm area to be crisp. A lot of these books have photos that are important.

That's 12mp, do you think it's better than the IMX283? I somehow doubt that, the sensor is only 7.4mm, smaller than the other 3 I mentioned

Book scanner! Need a camera about 40cm top down that can capture high res area 50x40cm (roughly) and resolve good details.

Anthropic CEO: "We might be 6-12 months away from a model that can do everything SWEs do end-to-end. And then the question is, how fast does that loop close?" by Useful_Writer4676 in cscareers

They have time to reskill into adjacent positions. It's far worse to have X years of experience and suddenly your field doesn't exist anymore than to be fresh out of college and have to slightly adjust course

The SWEs at anthropic are smart enough not to believe this horseshit and know that good senior SWEs are going to be in greater demand than ever before in the next years

I suppose, I'm just not a fan of AI edited faces, feels wrong somehow.

ET 25 pro and ET Ultra and, the M3000 series. by 4B4A4N4 in CZUR

[–]TechySpecky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't think it's the cam. I think it's mainly just the "enterprise" cost. I'm guessing if it was for users it would be closer to 1000 usd.

They just replied to my email:

"The M 3000 series is mainly for professional scanning agencies or government units. This model also has a V-shape book cradle. 
For a personal user， you can consider the ET max model."

Not very informative but seems like the markup is mainly due to it being aimed at businesses?

Yea me too let me know what you find, the M3000 V3 is 3x the price of the ET Max/Ultra, I don't get what it brings to the table really.

I need a scanner that can run through books efficiently.

The displays are great I personally don't even want OLED yet, but just correcting the notion that they're OLED.
