The reality is that CCD sensors have all but disappeared from mainstream digital cameras. They are power-hungry, expensive to manufacture, and lack the speed that modern photographers demand. But for ...

Chances are pretty good that you have at least one digital image sensor somewhere close to you at this moment, likely within arm’s reach. The ubiquity of digital cameras is due to how cheap ...

The heart of the camera is the image sensor. Most consumer digital cameras have tons of tiny receptors all jammed into the sensor. This allows for a larger resolution image, capturing more detail ...

A fully digital, high speed CMOS active pixel sensor that is purpose built to ensure maximum flexibility. Lince6M5 has an advanced 6.5 MP CMOS active pixel image sensor that allows for High ...

First, the three layers. Traditional digital sensors have one layer of pixels, but three-layer sensors separate each color-gathering pixel into separate layers. This design is said to better ...

Fresh from Teledyne e2v is the ground breaking new Emerald Family of CMOS image sensors. This brand-new cutting edge product family has the smallest commercially accessible true global shutter ...

Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) are advanced detectors used in high energy physics, particularly in particle physics experiments. These sensors are designed to detect charged particles with ...

Melville, NY, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canon U.S.A., Inc. today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc. announced that it has developed a CMOS sensor with 410 megapixels (24,592 x ...

It’s the ”largest number of pixels ever achieved in a 35mm full-frame sensor,” according to Canon, but don’t expect the company to introduce it on its consumer-ready digital cameras.
