Canon's new SPAD sensors work by amplifying a single photon that enters the sensor's pixels into large amounts of electrical energy pulses. This allows the camera to see objects in areas with small ...

Canon announced that it has created a new 410-megapixel, 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor, "the largest number of pixels ever achieved" in a sensor of its size. Because of the level of detail the new ...

Today Canon revealed a 250MP image sensor that'd make Along Game a Spider, Stargate, and Blade Runner feel vindicated at last. While this new sensor isn't quite able to see around corners, it's ...

According to Nikkei Asia, Canon is poised to shake up the digital imaging industry next year with a new sensor capable of capturing full-color images at “one-tenth the brightness conventional sensors ...

Canon shows a sensor at CES that counts individual light particles; Ricoh releases a monochrome compact camera for purists.

In brief: While manufacturers have been able to cram many millions of pixels into tiny smartphone camera sensors and improve their sensitivity, Canon made a new type of sensor that's particularly ...

For now, there’s really only one way to capture an HDR image when lighting conditions vary wildly across the frame: you take multiple shots with different exposures, and then assemble a final ...

LONDON– Canon Inc. has announced it has developed a CMOS image sensor withmore than 120 million pixels, and claimed it is the world's highestresolution image sensor for its size. Thesensor is the ...
