Canonā€™s innovative CMOS sensors

Canonā€™s new CMOS sensor series was introduced at CES 2018 and included three models: a heavy-duty 120-megapixel APS-H, a 5-megapixel global shutter sensor, and a 19-megapixel sensor capable of shooting 100fps video at extremely low light. A few months after the show, Canon has launched a series of videos demonstrating the capabilities of the new sensors.

Video cameras

The first video showed the 120MXS sensor, which can shoot at 9.4 frames per second at 120 megapixels. Now Canon USA has released a second video that focuses on a 19-megapixel full-frame sensor that can shoot Slow-motion video in full HD in fairly low light.

The sensor is designated as 35MMFHDXS, and in many ways is the exact opposite of the 120MXS. It contains only 2.2 effective megapixels, but each is a whopping 19 Āµm Ɨ 19 Āµm, allowing them to capture a lot of light. The sensor also uses a new readout circuitry that helps significantly reduce noise during shooting.

The new sensors are unlikely to appear in standard Canon cameras in the near future, but the technology used to develop them will no doubt be used in the sensors Canon will use in its cameras of tomorrow.

Canon has dedicated a separate web page to the new sensors, with descriptions and detailed specifications of each sensor available:
