Last Saturday marked 4/20, an international celebration of all things weed, and to mark it Dmitri Tcherbadji of Analog Cafe processed a roll of photo film using cannabis flower in a developer he calls Sativa Cannanol.
The future of Panasonic's organic sensor, a global shutter technology it has been developing with Fujifilm since 2013, doesn't look promising.
In a recent interview, Panasonic says that it hopes to begin commercializing its organic CMOS sensor "in a few years," indicating that the sensor first shown in 2013 is still not close to coming to market.
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.
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.
Sony is working hard to keep its image sensor supremacy. The company is planning to show off two new image sensors at the 2019 International Electronic Devices Meeting (IEDM) that should have photographers excited: a 3-layer organic image sensor that will require no demosaicing, and "the world’s first all PDAF CMOS image sensor."
Structure is a new short film by photographer Drew Geraci, who used a microscope and 4K camera to capture the beauty of ordinary organic objects when magnified up to 1000x.
Panasonic today announced a trio of new CMOS sensors that offer extreme dynamic range, incredible light sensitivity, and a global shutter.
Fujifilm and Panasonic have joined forces and created an image sensor that blows everything currently on the market completely out of the water. By using Fuji's patented "organic photoelectric conversion material" to collect light instead of the traditional silicon photodiode, they've created a sensor that nearly doubles the dynamic range of the best sensor currently on the market.
If you're a fan of Fujifilm's X100 and X10, then you might want to brace yourself: the company's next camera might be the one mirrorless camera to rule them all. Fujifilm's upcoming mirrorless camera will likely have the same sleek styling as the X100, but with one colossal difference: a revolutionary new "organic sensor". Fuji has been developing the technology for years now, and the new camera -- supposedly named the Fujifilm LX -- is rumored to be the first to pack the sensor.
