Patents are always a fun way to see what camera companies are up to and theorize about what might be coming next, even if they frequently don't find their way into actual products. A new Canon patent filed in Japan is particularly intriguing, as it outlines a triple-layer high-speed stacked image sensor.
While the interchangeable lens camera market is on the upswing, the mobile market is going the other way. Sony, which makes the majority of sensors for mobile, doesn't think that will change for another year.
Respected Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple's iPhone 16 series smartphones expected to release next year will feature a stacked rear camera sensor design.
Fujifilm has announced the company's new flagship X Series mirrorless camera, the X-H2S which features a new 26.16-megapixel APS-C stacked, backside illuminated sensor, a greatly improved autofocus system, and up to 6.2K video recording in 10-bit 4:2:2.
I’ve been an Olympus and Micro Four Thirds user since I purchased a used E-M5 in 2016. I love Olympus, and like many others was sad to hear the news when the company’s photo division came to an end. There was a lot of speculation and anxiety over what JIP would do with the business, but the rebranding to OM Digital encouraged confidence. Since then, I have eagerly awaited the new company’s first camera. And now we have it: the OM System OM-1.
OM Digital Solutions has announced the OM System OM-1 camera, the last that will feature the Olympus logo. The camera features a new 20-megapixel backside-illuminated stacked sensor, 120 frames per second shooting, improved autofocus, a top-tier durable build, and strong video capabilities.
Canon’s latest mirrorless camera takes on a new shape and reaches all new heights in performance. With its stacked 24-megapixel sensor, blackout-free silent shooting, eye-control autofocus, and improved subject detection, the EOS R3 might just be the new camera to beat.
