Canon recently announced two new camera sensors – the first one is a Super35 4.5K sensor capable of up to 120fps full-sensor readout. The second one is a global shutter 5.7K full-frame sensor with up to 60fps 5.7K 16:9 readout. Both CMOS sensors feature 6.4μm pixels. There aren’t many companies that produce large camera sensors, but Japanese tech giant Canon is one of them. Recently, Canon introduced two new camera sensors, that promise to bring an interesting new technology to upcoming cameras. Let’s take a quick look at these. Canon LI7080SA – Super35 4.5K 120fps sensor The first of the two announced sensors is a Super35-sized sensor named Canon LI7080SA. The resolution is 4536 x 2400 which gives us a 17:9 aspect ratio. The pixel size is 6.4μm. Because Canon did not state otherwise, I suppose this sensor will feature a rolling shutter technology. Canon LI7080SA super35 sensor announced. Source: Canon Canon claims that the sensor achieves high-quality 4K60fps video recording. The effective pixel readout, however, is available for the full sensor (4536 x 2400) up to 120fps. The sensor comes with a 170-pin ceramic LCC (a leadless chip carrier). It will only come with a standard RGB filter to capture all the colors of the visible spectrum. Canon LI5030SA – full-frame 5.7K global shutter sensor The other newly announced sensor is more exciting in my opinion. Named Canon LI5030SA, it is a full-frame CMOS sensor with a resolution of 5688 x 3336 pixels (18.97MP). The aspect ratio is somewhere...
