The annual IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) will take place from December 9 to 13 in San Francisco. In its 69th year (!!), there will once again be a few
"Canon will introduce a new twisted photodiode CIS structure - 6 µm pixel pitch - enabling all-directional autofocus for high speed and accuracy and 95 dB DR." If you break this sentence down into its individual parts, you get a conclusive picture: 6 µm sensor edge length is hardly useful for smartphone applications, while autofocus is not required in most industrial applications. It is therefore very likely to be a new CMOS sensor technology for large sensor models such as DSLMs or cine cameras. The 6 µm would allow fairly exact native 4K resolution in S35 sensor formats and 6K in 35 mm full-frame sensors with a width of around 36 mm. ;) The all-directional autofocus also cries out for use in large-sensor cameras. However, the 95dB is probably the real sensation: converted into f-stops, 95 dB corresponds to almost 16 f-stops of dynamic range - 15.84 to be precise. This could (and should) bring the Canon sensor a good deal closer to the current cine favorite in Arri&s Alexa 35, which "manages" around 17 f-stops. Combined with the usual reliable autofocus, Canon could soon be among the cine leaders. If this sensor shows up in a camera as early as next year, Canon could also dance along well in the cine dance between Arri, Red and Sony...  more infos at bei submissions.mirasmart.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Canon präsentiert Mitte Dezember Sensor mit fast 16 Blendenstufen |
