I don't know why you're being downvoted, when was the last time you saw someone spell out central processing unit? Random access memory? Hard disk drive?

Given the context, its not always required to reiterate acronyms.

There are 269 definitions for CIS on Acronym Finder. The first one is "Computer Information Systems" there is also "Contact Image Sensor" before we get to "CMOS Image Sensor".

Even among specialists acronyms may cause confusion.

  • The domain name is "image-sensors-world.blogspot.com". I assume the intended audience is people who are into image sensors.

  • There’s 325 acronyms for PC, 126 for RAM, etc but you don’t expect a tech enthusiast site to spell out those for you? At least I hope not.

Pretty much. The whole blog is dedicated to imaging news and sensors.
