Canon has announced the development of a new CMOS sensor with a resolution of 410 megapixels, which would set a new record for the pixel count of a 35mm full-frame sensor. It is intended for specialized applications in the fields of surveillance, medicine, and industrial manufacturing.
![]() New Canon 410 Megapixel Sensor The monochrome version of the sensor also features a "four-pixel binning" function, in which four adjacent pixels are virtually treated as one pixel. This improves light sensitivity and allows brighter images to be captured. With this function, which halves the resolution, the sensor can capture 100-megapixel videos at a quadrupled frame rate of 24 frames per second. Other CMOS sensors with an extremely high pixel count use medium or even larger formats – Canon&s new development, however, relies on the 35mm full-frame format and can therefore be used with existing FF lenses. ![]() Canon MS-500 camera with SPAD sensor Canon has extensive experience in developing special sensors with extremely high pixel counts and high light sensitivity, as well as SPAD sensors that can detect even faint light traces in dark areas, such as in the ![]() Canon uses this know-how to achieve sufficient light sensitivity despite the high resolution and small pixels.
