Canon’s Ultra High Sensitivity 2MP Sensor Has Gone Into Production (the sensor that can see in the dark)

35MMFHDXSCA Image Sensors
View Post

Canon’s ultra high sensitivity sensor, the 35MMFHDXSCA, with a 2 MP resolution has been released into production, as Nikkei reports.

The new product, “35MMFHDXSCA” is targeted at astronomical observation, monitoring of a natural disaster, industrial use, etc. Its pixel is as large as 19 x 19μm. Canon reduced noise, which tends to increase as pixel size increases. As a result, it became possible to shoot color video with a low illuminance of 0.001lx or less, enabling to take video of shooting stars.

The 35MMFHDXSCA is capable of reading out video with a pixel count of 2,160 x 1,280, which is broader than full HD. Therefore, it is suited not only for astronomical observation, for which wide-angle video needs to be taken, but also for monitoring and industrial use, which require special aspect ratios.

There was a press communication by Canon Japan (machine translated) and while their are not revealing the price, Canon USA is offering the sensor for sale. You won’t be able to order online or to just stop by at you nearest camera shop. To know the price and purchase it you have to contact Canon for further information.

For those more technically inclined, a white paper can be downloaded from this page.

Photography Blog posted their first impression on the brand new Canon EOS R.

Their early verdict:

The EOS R is a promising first step into Canon’s future, mixing together DSLR-design with some new features to create a unique take on what a mirrorless camera should be like. It’s a world away from the early days of mirrorless, where the emphasis was very much on creating the smallest camera and lens system possible. Instead Canon have take the opportunity to make a reasonably sized camera with a mount that can support some seriously fast glass, albeit lenses that are just as big as their DSLR equivalents.
