Canon Global Shutter Patent Application

One of the major criticisms of DSLRs, and specifically Canon DSLRs, is the use of a rolling shutter that produces motion artifacts. This rolling shutter effect is very prevalent in video with Canon DSLRs thanks to the readout method of the CMOS image sensors. It has certainly improved with recent models (the 5D Mark II […]

Canon Develops 250MP APS-H CMOS Sensor

Canon has announced the development of a 250MP APS-H format CMOS sensor and has a working prototype camera using the super high resolution sensor. The APS-H format was used in prior Canon 1D models and measures 29.2 x 20.2mm. The sensor resolution is 19,580 x 12,600 pixels. That is 125x greater resolution that 1080p HD […]
