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."

      Meh.

      My neighbor has a 20 x 8 FOOT one pixel unit. It takes lousy photos, but it generates a couple of kilowatts.
