The world’s first ultra-high-sensitivity interchangeable-lens camera equipped with a Type 1 Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) image sensor is finally coming to market, and the ultra low light vision capabilities it brings don't come cheap.
Canon Inc. has announced the development of the MS-500, the world's first ultra-high-sensitivity interchangeable-lens camera (ILC) featuring a Type 1 Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) image sensor.
Canon Japan has just unveiled a new ultra-high-resolution image sensor for the industrial and surveillance market. The APS-H format sensor breaks new ground with a resolution of 250-megapixels... that's 125x the resolution of Full HD, and 30x the resolution of 4K!
Curved sensor mania first took over the blogosphere back in 2014 thanks to Sony and their curved creation. But while that sensor never really came to anything worthwhile—although it was used in a "camera"—two Canon patents are sparking interest in this technology once again.
