In this patent application (2024-019961) Canon shows off a high-speed stacked sensor using three substrate layers. As you can imagine, sensor layers are like a house, the more floors you have the more flexibility you have, and the more room.
However the cost of manufacturing a house with more and more floors increases as the [. . . ]

The Nikon Z6 is one of two full-frame mirrorless cameras that Nikon introduced in August of 2018. It's very similar to its big brother, the Z7, with the main differences being the sensor (24MP vs 46MP) and the decrease in resolution that comes along with it. dpreview.com »

Competition between camera brands is good news for one person. . . you! A few years back, brands were pushing the limits to squeeze every last megapixel of resolution out of their sensors and cameras, but after a while, technology seemed to just hit a ceiling, and brands shifted their focus (pardon the pun) to features such as AF, In Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) and video specs. digitalrev.com »

81%Overall scoreJump to conclusion The Hasselblad X1D-50c is a 50MP mirrorless medium format camera, built around a 44 x 33mm sensor that's 70% larger than 'full frame. ' It's the smallest camera by far to feature such a large sensor and, as well as offering adapted compatibility with older Hasselblad HC and HCD lenses, the X1D sits at the center of a new system with its own family of XCD lenses. dpreview.com »

We've seen huge breakthroughs in the computational photography techniques in the latest smartphones, as well as the launch of some excellent small sensors in more traditional cameras. Does that mean that bigger is no longer necessarily better? To answer that question, let's look at why big sensors tend to produce better image quality and what smaller-sensored cameras and smartphones are doing to close the gap. dpreview.com »

In my previous article on the difficulty FujiFilm’s X-Trans sensor has preserving fine color detail, I used the free software Darktable to process the RAW examples. I showed how, specifically in terms of color detail, Darktable was able to do a better job than FujiFilm’s own processing. (I also pointed out the compromise between color […] petapixel.com »

A fairly long time ago, photographer Zack Arias shared a video on sensor sizes and how the full frame vs APS-C sensor debate is pretty much useless. Instead, he pushes the idea that the "Moron behind the camera" is much more important. thephoblographer.com »

When one talks about the camera industry, it is pretty evident that mirrorless cameras are anyone's go-to deal. They are fast, efficient, and smaller to carry but may come with a hefty price tag. Yet, mirrorless cameras seem to be what most photographers want.
When it comes to buying cameras today, size, price, weather sealing, and megapixels are a few things that people consider. However, oftentimes, many people begin to chase megapixels the most, as it is considered to help one achieve 'better' results.
When it comes to sensor technology, Nikon has been taking a back seat in recent years. While their cameras, like the Nikon Z9 and Z8, have been breaking new ground in the mirrorless segment, they have had to rely on Sony to produce sensors for these (and other) cameras.
NASA has unveiled a new infrared camera that promises to drive impressive new science on Earth and beyond.

We will be releasing an upcoming series of articles on infrared photography that I've been slowly working through the last few weeks, and this amusingly popped up in the list of patent applications published.
Five years ago, the first thing manufacturers talked about when launching a new camera was the sensor. Megapixels made headlines along with backlit designs and sensor stacking. But, has all that changed? Looking at technical tests and rankings like those from DxO Mark, half of all the top ten full frame cameras are more than three years old.
