Panasonic has touted additional benefits of the organic CMOS sensor that it has been working on for nearly a decade, and while the developments still sound enticing, the company seems no closer to release.
Raspberry Pi's new 1.6-megapixel Global Shutter Camera module promises instantaneous readout across the entire image area, eliminating rolling shutter distortion.
Canon has announced a new 19-megapixel, full-frame, global-shutter sensor that it says is ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects without distortion.
A dual-shutter vibration-sensing system developed by Carnegie Mellion University (CMU) researchers uses standard, ordinary cameras to see sound vibrations with such precision that it can reconstruct the music made by a single instrument out of a band.
Nikon has filed a patent for a new type of sensor that would allow it to perform both a rolling and global shutter operation. It's not the first time the company has proposed such a design, but it expands on the use case of a previous filing.
Panasonic claims that its currently in-development Organic Photoconductive Film (OPF) CMOS uses a unique structure that will allow it to achieve high resolution, wide dynamic range, and a global shutter. Basically, it would be a game-changer.
Gpixel has developed a new global shutter 4/3-inch 10-megapixel sensor that it claims will be capable of shooting 4K video at up to 2,000 frames per second.
Sony has announced that it is close to releasing the IMX661, a 127.68-megapixel "large format" sensor with a global shutter. While aimed at the industrial market, this sensor can be seen as an indication that Sony is capable of releasing a global shutter sensor for the consumer market.
In at least one region of Canon's massive global empire, the company has begun listing its sensors for sale to other companies, following in Sony's footsteps.
Though we're still likely many months away from a finished product, Canon Rumors is reporting that in addition to working on a global shutter full-frame sensor, Canon filed a patent for a Quad-Pixel autofocus system.
A French startup called PIXII has unveiled its new Pixii camera. It's an unusual digital rangefinder camera (with a real rangefinder, not just rangefinder looks) that represents the company's "radical take on what a modern camera should be."
It seems that February 2018 is the month of global shutter CMOS sensor breakthroughs. A day after Sony announced the first 1MP+ backlit global shutter CMOS sensor, Panasonic announced its own groundbreaking development: a global shutter CMOS sensor that's capable of 8K, 60FPS, and HDR.
Sony just announced a groundbreaking development in the world of camera image sensors: it has created a 1.46-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor that has global shutter. This is the first-ever CMOS sensor of over 1MP that has both back-illumination and global shutter.
Canon announced today that it has developed a CMOS sensor with a global shutter, perhaps paving the way to future Canon DSLRs that don't suffer from the "rolling shutter" effect.
Want to see how CMOS and CCD image sensors work and how they differ from each other? Photographer and animator Raymond Sirí created a couple of simple animations showing the basic idea of how these two sensor technologies go about capturing light, reading it, and storing the information.
The animation above showing CMOS sensor tech was used in a trial against Canon, Sirí says.
