A couple of patent applications caught my eye over the last week – and of course, with me traveling and living out of a suitcase right now I filed it in my head to revisit. These two patents show some unique pixel structures that we are not used to seeing from Canon.

In these two patent applications, Canon is exploring adding haptic feedback into the grip surface of the camera. These are two separate patent applications but discuss similar functions, so I'll lump them all in here. canonrumors.com »

One of the main complaints about using ultra-fast lenses is that you can't use the lenses easily wide open in bright sunlight. This is especially true when it comes to video and the use of more limited shutter speeds. canonrumors.com »

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.
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.
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.
More and more photographers are demanding durable cameras. But what they've also been asking for are brass cameras. The only brands to really do something like this in the past two decades have been Pentax and Leica.
Fujifilm X-H2 is a camera with one of the highest resolving APS-C sensors currently on the camera market. When you combine that with certain film simulations, photos will just look naturally sharper.
