"Did you ever think that you'd see a CMOS sensor
measuring 202 x 205 mm? That's 7.95 x 8.07 inches to our fine imperial friends.
Its impressive size -- about 40 times larger than Canon's largest commercial
CMOS sensor -- translates to staggering light-gathering capabilities, capturing
images in one one-hundredth the amount of light required by a professional DSLR.
Better yet, the sensor is matched by new circuitry allowing for video capture at
60fps in just 0.3 lux of illumination (think full moon on a clear night).
Unfortunately, the press release is more concerned with promoting
Canon's engineering
prowessthan with product launch. Nevertheless, we're
impressed."
just a little something for the LF shooters to
drool over
though I suspect the silver film V sensor/storage
costs issue will keep LF shooters ramaining with their feet firmly in the film
camp ;)
