Very nice Canon-san. No real surprises but nice to see in product form (or almost product). In 1996 at Photobit we* did a 30um pixel sensor for ITT which gave amazing imagery in a dark room at 20fps (at least to the eye - it was actually 4mlux by the meter). Big pixels work very well for low light. Not so well for lightweight optics and small camera size. *Song Xue was the lead designer I think.
Night shots - superb!! .. 120MPix for security screening seems necessary for wide frame single equipment based screening... what is the power consumption on 120 MPix?
Canon as always good fellows! Night videos are impressive. In our opinion, currently three companies occupy a leading position in highly sensitive sensors: Canon, Sony and Gpixel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxP8-D1FO2o

ReplyDeleteEricn, do you have a paper on this work please? Thanks!
DeleteNo paper, sorry, just one old presentation slide without much detail.
DeleteReally nice night time shots!
