Elevate Your Vision: Introducing IMX585 & IMX678 Cameras for Khadas SBCs
Updated: Dec 16, 2025
Whether you’re building an AI robot, designing a smart surveillance system, or creating a high-definition imaging rig, one thing matters most: a reliable, high-quality image feed. It’s often the difference between a project that works and one that doesn’t.
Khadas now introduces two advanced camera modules — IMX585 and IMX678 — built to elevate your SBC projects. With them, your devices gain sharper vision, wider perspectives, and cleaner detail across a wide range of scenarios.
IMX585 — Extreme Detail, Clearer Night Shots
A Flagship Sensor That Stands Out
Equipped with Sony’s 1/1.2’’ IMX585 flagship sensor, pixel light intake is boosted by ~130%. Night scenes become 1.5× cleaner, with subjects standing out naturally against softly blurred backgrounds [1].
Astonishing Clarity
Capture 8.29‑megapixel images and record 4K at 60fps [2]. Motion sharpness improves by ~40%, motion blur is cut nearly in half, and 2× slow‑motion footage is delivered losslessly. Combined with electronic stabilization and AI recognition, the results are nothing short of impressive [1].
Large Aperture, High Dynamic Range
With an F1.0 aperture and HDR tuning, light intake increases 5.8×, noise is reduced by half, and depth of field becomes smoother. Shutter speed is significantly faster, reducing shake‑induced blur to just one‑third [1]. Backlit subjects remain visible, highlights avoid overexposure, and both SNR and dynamic range are dramatically enhanced.
Summary
With its ability to capture exceptional detail and produce clean low-light images, IMX585 is well-suited for smart security, AI object recognition, intelligent monitoring, high-speed photography, and precision scanning.

IMX678 — Richer Frames, Wider Perspective
Ultra‑Wide Coverage
With a 178.6° ultra‑wide angle, both frame width and height expand by ~1.4×, effectively doubling the capture area. This wider field of view allows electronic stabilization to crop an extra 10% of the frame, greatly improving shake compensation [1].
Bigger Sensor, Cleaner Shots
The 1/1.8’’ Sony IMX678 sensor, paired with an F1.6 aperture, increases total light intake by over 200%. Under the same lighting, ISO can be lowered by 1.7 stops, producing cleaner images, faster shutter speeds, and blur‑free handheld shooting [1].
Low Distortion, True‑to‑Life Rendering
With distortion under ‑15.9%, straight lines stay straight and edge stretching is reduced by half. Architecture looks authentic, portraits remain natural, and post‑processing correction is unnecessary. Pixels are preserved at 100%, wide‑angle shots retain full detail, geometric errors are cut by more than half, and image stitching is minimized — enabling faster, more accurate algorithm alignment [3].
Summary
IMX678’s ultra‑wide perspective and distortion control make it perfect for panoramic capture, action cameras, object recognition, street mapping, robotic vision, and high‑definition photography.

Every circuit is made to challenge players' reflexes, tactics, and driving abilities while fostering special moments between the "racing brothers."
These camera modules look like exciting additions to the Khadas SBC ecosystem, especially for projects involving robotics, AI vision, and low-light imaging. I like how the IMX585 focuses on detailed images and 4K recording, while the IMX678 offers a wider field of view for applications that need broader coverage. Compatibility with the Edge 2 and VIM4 also makes the options worth exploring for different embedded setups. Getting the right balance of clarity, speed, and responsiveness can make all the difference, much like playing Geometry Dash, where every quick decision matters. Thanks for sharing these new imaging possibilities with the maker community!
