Canon<\/a> has announced the development of a new high-sensitivity, 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor designed exclusively for video recording.<\/p>\n

\"sensorCMOS_35mm_Full-Frame\"<\/p>\n

This new CMOS sensor features square pixels with a size of 19 microns (7.5 times larger than the pixel area on the CMOS sensor found in the EOS-1D X<\/a> and other DSLR cameras<\/a>). The high sensitivity is achieved by increasing the size of the individual pixels and reducing their total number (about two megapixels). <\/p>\n

In addition, the pixels and readout circuits employ new technologies that reduce noise, which tends to increase as pixel size increases. Thanks to this and its high sensitivity, it can capture Full HD video in very low-light environments. Tests conducted by Canon have shown that this low light intensity level can be as low as 0.03 lux, or about the brightness of a crescent moon, levels at which it is difficult for our eye to perceive objects. <\/p>\n
