    It's a shame that Type 1 and Type 2 look like two different sensors. I was hoping they were two different operating modes.

    Type 1 seems targeted at photography while type 2 is clearly targeted at video.

    Type 1 will definitely end up in the next compact camera generation but I haven't figured out what are the real target devices for type 2... compact video cameras? (most likely), cell phones (not enough MP for photo bragging)?

    Not so...same sensor. they're just windowing it.

    At the same time, Type 1/3.2 cropping functions support 4K video format. The IMX147LQT is able to use both Type 1/2.3 and Type 1/3.2 image view angles as the situation demands.

    Thanks @kurth. I didn't catch that from the OP. Should have followed the link, but I mistook it for the attachment. Very interesting indeed, but apparently targeted at compact cameras not cell phones.
