Canon Develops 8 X 8 Inch Digital CMOS Sensor

Posted by timothy on from the you'lll-need-deep-pockets dept.

dh003i writes "Canon has developed a 8 x 8 inch CMOS digital sensor. It will be able to capture an image with 1/100th the light intensity required by a DSLR and will be able to record video at 60 fps in lighting half the intensity of moonlight. There are already many excellent quality lenses designed to cover 8 x 10 inches, although Canon may develop some of their own designed specifically for their requirements."

    Will this be in a camera? No. Good god no.

    Have they used their 120 megapixel APS-H sized sensor? Have they used the 50 megapixel one before that?

    This is just money down the toilet. It's development to make the executives feel good. It's R&D masturbation.

    I love Canon, I love their sensors and cameras but they are and the path to bankruptcy. Quick make the employees stand not sit make them and run everywhere so they look busy!
