1. A single chip camera device, comprising:
- a substrate, having integrated thereon an image acquisition portion and a control portion, both of which are formed using a logic family that is compatible with CMOS;
said image acquisition portion including an array of photoreceptors arranged in rows and columns;
a charge storage element, associated with each said column;
said control portion including a signal controlling device, controlling said photoreceptors to output their signals, and a timing circuit integrated within the same substrate that houses the array of photoreceptors, controlling a timing of operation of said array of photoreceptors;
said control portion including common logic elements to control all pixels on a selected row to sample said all pixels onto said charge storage elements substantially simultaneously.
