Canon has presented its new record image sensor with 410 megapixels to the public for the first time. The presentation took place at the P&I 2025 in China.
Spectacular engineering key data
- Resolution: 24.592 x 16,704 pixels, which corresponds to almost 200 times Full-HD and 12 x 8K.
- Sensor architecture : New, rearly lit stacked sensor with integrated signal processing.
- Data throughput : impressive read speed of 3,280 MP/s, which allows 8 frames/s in full resolution.
- Monochrome version : Uses 4-pixel binning for higher light sensitivity and allows 100 MP videos at 24 fps.
Target market: Industry instead of consumers
Canon does not position the LI8030SA for the mass market, but for highly specialized industries such as monitoring, medicine and machine vision. At P&I 2025, the sensor was presented behind glass, which is usually a clear signal that it is still in the development phase. Canon is already looking for expressions of interest, but the first models should not be intended for classic cameras. Nevertheless, the technology could also influence commercial Canon sensors in the future.
With the 410-MP sensor, Canon impressively shows where the journey can go. For hobby photographers, however, this sensor remains a distant dream. Most of us don't need such an exaggerated resolution anyway. In the professional sector, however, it opens up new dimensions.
