We got an interesting tip (thanks) about a Canon 8K camera with a Super 35mm imaging sensor.

Not sure if the specifications we have been suggested apply to the rumored 8K Cinema cameras, or to another camera, maybe the Canon R300.

A Canon 8K camera with a Super 35mm imaging sensor is “in beta version” (we interpret this as undergoing field testing). These are the specifications:

• 8K 3.2μm Super 35mm imaging sensor
• High-Speed 3D
• Dual Gain Output
• Dual Pixel AF II
• Dual Native ISO
• DIGIC DV X (Faster AF, Faster I/O, Faster UI)
• DCI 8K 60fps 12b RAW
• 4K RGB (2-Green-pixel binning on sensor) 90fps 12b RAW Output

The source added that the camera has a “crazy image quality, higher IQ than HELIUM 8K S35 and VENICE 4K S35 mode in dark scenes“.

Ideas and comments welcome.
