Canon Decides We Need 120 Megapixel Sensors Canon successfully develops world's first APS-H-size CMOS image sensor to realize record-high resolution of 120 megapixels Canon's newly developed CMOS sensor, featuring approx. 120 megapixels TOKYO, August 24, 2010-Canon Inc. announced today that it has successfully developed an APS-H-size*1 CMOS image sensor that delivers an image resolution of approximately 120 megapixels (13280 x 9184 pixels), the world's highest level*2 of resolution for its size. Compared with Canon's highest-resolution commercial CMOS sensor of the same size, comprising approximately 16.1 million pixels, the newly developed sensor features a pixel count that, at approximately 120 million pixels, is nearly 7.5 times larger and offers a 2.4-fold improvement in resolution.*3 With CMOS sensors, while high-speed readout for high pixel counts is achieved through parallel processing, an increase in parallel-processing signal counts can result in such problems as signal delays and minor deviations in timing. By modifying the method employed to control the readout circuit timing, Canon successfully achieved the high-speed readout of sensor signals. As a result, the new CMOS sensor makes possible a maximum output speed of approximately 9.5 frames per second, supporting the continuous shooting of ultra-high-resolution images. Canon's newly developed CMOS sensor also incorporates a Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) video output capability. The sensor can output Full HD ...
