I've read varying things.  Does anyone know for sure what CMOS Sensor and Image Processor are used in the Mavic Air?  RCgeeks did a teardown, but there was no mention and the pics show that it wasn't torn down enough to be able to find out.

1/2.3" CMOS 12MP sensor. The Mavic Air uses the same image processor as the P4P - the Ambarella H1-A1-RH but it's video encoding is not capable of recording in H.265, unlike the P4P - though both record 4K at 100MPBS. Perhaps we will see that HEVC encoding on the MP2 with a 1" 20MP CMOS R sensor included and (fingers crossed) a variable aperture... Only time will tell!

Is the sensor the same as in the MP, the IMX377?

I believe so though the Air has an f.2.8 wide angle lens which does not require tap to focus
Basically, same sensor as the Spark/MP
Same (but dumbed down) image processor as the P4P
