The Capture One Team is running a little Easter promotion over the holidays (29th of March to 2nd of April). If you buy Capture One Pro you’ll get two style packs for free (Film & Cinematic). The two style packs usually sell for $69 each. Click here to see the offer.
Here is another sensor prototype from Canon. The Canon 35MMFHDXS CMOS sensor was recently presented along with other prototypes The sensors are a 120 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, a 5 Megapixel Global Shutter CMOS, and the 35MMFHDXS, 19μm Full HD CMOS Sensor. If you’re curious to learn more click here.
The 35MMFHDXS CMOS sensor delivers high-sensitivity, low-noise imaging performance, enabling the capture of Full HD video even in exceptionally low-light environments. The sensor’s pixels and readout circuitry employ new technologies that reduce noise, which tends to increase as pixel size increases. High sensitivity and increased well depth have been achieved through a larger pixel size of 19μm x 19μm (square) with proprietary device design technologies. The 35MMFHDXS CMOS sensor is available in RGB, RGB+IR or Monochrome.
The 35MMFHDXS CMOS sensor is featured on the Canon ME20F-SH, a specialised, multipurpose camera system. If you are technically inclined you may want to have a look at this Canon White Paper, talking about the 35MMFHDXS CMOS sensor.

The giant is alive and kicking. Press release:
TOKYO, March 28, 2018—Canon Inc. has announced today that the Company’s interchangeable-lens digital cameras (digital SLR and compact-system cameras) have maintained the No. 1 share of the global market for 15 consecutive years1 from 2003 to 2017.
Canon develops the key components featured in its interchangeable-lens cameras—CMOS image sensors, image processors and interchangeable lenses—in the pursuit of “Speed, Comfort and High Image Quality, the core concept of the EOS series.” The Company effectively responds to the needs of a wide range of users through its extensive lineup of cameras catering to all levels of photography from beginner to professional and a total2 of 93 EF series interchangeable lenses.
In 2003, the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its breakthrough EOS Kiss Digital (EOS Digital Rebel or EOS 300D Digital in other regions). This groundbreaking camera, which was competitively priced and featured a compact, lightweight design, captured the top share of the global market and set the stage for growth in the digital SLR market. Since that time, Canon has continued to launch a range of groundbreaking products, including the professional-model EOS-1D series and the EOS 5D series, which paved the way for digital SLR video recording. The Company has further bolstered the EOS lineup by continuing to introduce new products including accessories, interchangeable lenses and the EOS M series of compact-system cameras. During 2017, Canon introduced the EOS 6D Mark II as part of an impressive lineup of interchangeable-lens camera products3 that supported the Company’s achievement of a 15th consecutive year at the top of the global market.
Back in January, at CES 2018, Canon gave some insights in their R&D labs. Three sensors were presented.
The sensors are a 120 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, a 5 Megapixel Global Shutter CMOS, and a 19μm Full HD CMOS Sensor. If you’re curious to learn more click here.
The Canon 120MXS sensor, with a 120MP resolution shows what Canon is capable of. This kind of sensor can be used for many applications, surveillance, scientific experiments, medical etc. For a mirrorless camera too, I guess. It’s APS-H format.
The 120MXS is an ultra-high resolution CMOS sensor with 13280 x 9184 effective pixels(approx. 60x the resolution of Full HD). It has a size equivalent to APS-H (29.22mm x 20.20mm), and a square pixel arrangement of 2.2µm x 2.2µm with 122 million effective pixels. Ultra-high-resolution is made possible by parallel signal processing, which reads signals at high speed from multiple pixels. All pixel progressive reading of 9.4fps is made possible by 28 digital signal output channels. It is available in RGB or with twice the sensitivity, in monochrome.
The video below gives you a good idea what you can do with this sensor.
Adorama has a bunch of bundle deals on the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV through mail-in rebate and added goodies.
As usual the Canon PIXMA Pro-100 photo printer (and paper) is part of the bundle, and the item you’ll ask the MIR for. But there is more. Adorama includes in all bundles listed below the Meural Canvas, a 27″ IPS display to show your photos, which alone is sold for $595. You don’t have to include the Meural Canvas, it’s already part of the bundles below. The offer expires March 31, 2018
CN-E20mm T1.5 L F at a glance:
The CN-E20mm T1.5 L F lens can be pre-ordered at B&H Photo.
Canon press release:
“As Canon continues to expand its reach in the cinema space, we are thrilled to introduce the CN-E20mm T1.5 L F lens, further expanding a robust line up of Cinema Prime lenses,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “This new lens will provide users with an option in-between our 14mm and 24mm lenses, giving greater flexibility for their scene framing. Canon is excited to see the projects our users create with this lens and Canon Cinema cameras.”
The new CN-E20mm T1.5 L F lens can provide 4K resolution from the center of the images to the periphery, providing high image quality for Canon cameras that feature full-frame sensors such as the new EOS C700 FF digital cinema camera. In addition, the 11-blade aperture diaphragm alongside a T number1 of 1.5 allows the lens to provide beautifully soft bokeh. Like all Canon Cinema Prime lenses, the CN-E20mm T1.5 L F lens features warm, natural-looking tones, 300 degrees of focus ring rotation, and minimized focus breathing.
Since the launch of the Cinema EOS System and EF Cinema Lenses in November 2011, Canon has greatly expanded the EF Cinema Lens offerings. The lineup—which includes the Prime, Zoom, Compact Zoom, CINE-SERVO and COMPACT-SERVO series of lenses—has become very popular for a wide range of users. With the introduction of the CN-E20mm T1.5 L F lens, the lineup now boasts a total of 21 lens models. This expansive line of lenses provides cinematographers with even more options to choose from, which can support enhanced content creation for a variety of uses and shooting scenarios.
The CN-E20mm T1.5 L F lens is scheduled to begin shipping in fall 2018. For more information please visit usa.canon.com/provideo.
