it's cheaperI do wonder, are there any advantages with the OVT over the Sony Starvis CMOS?
At the prices they charge for the product the cost of the sensor would not be an issue, it's unlikely the reason why they don't use itApart from that, does Sony make an affordable 4k Starvis sensor?
They do now, but this camera was designed some time ago. Even the Viofo A129 Pro, which is newer, doesn't have a 4K Starvis sensor, although of course the end result is a much better image than DR900 even though it is not "Starvis", the sensor is not the only important part of the camera.Apart from that, does Sony make an affordable 4k Starvis sensor?

True, but also there is no point having a fantastic sensor if you are going to compress the result down to 25mb/s like the DR900. I was just reading the Zenfox T3 thread, that is only 2K resolution with 3 Starvis sensors, but apparently will do 45mb/s 2K, for great 4K we want twice that, not half that!No point in setting a low limit at the start which can't be improved on thereafter!
The most competitive 4K sensor is Sony IMX415.Apart from that, does Sony make an affordable 4k Starvis sensor?
The sensor they use is capable of better results, they need to want that thoughIt is a "system", therefore everything in it does matter, but it doesn't make sense to put the limiting factor as the first link of the chain where it cannot be improved through firmware tweaks or minor hardware improvements. Unless of course you aren't going to try to improve your product's video in which case nothing matters. (Did I hear someone mention Blackvue? I was just thinking of them )
