On December 13th, Canon will have a presentation at IEDM (International Electron Devices Meeting) on a new sensor that they have developed. Image-sensors-world first discovered this snippet; Canon will introduce a new twisted photodiode CIS structure – 6 µm pixel pitch – enabling all-directional autofocus for high speed and accuracy and 95 dB DR.

In this patent application (JP2023-166867) Canon looks to improve the performance and accuracy of a Quad Pixel autofocus capable sensor. If you have not been following sensor developments, Canon right now splits the pixel in half and uses the difference in the signal from the one half and the other half to determine how far [. canonrumors.com »

We've been very, very confused about the sensor in the Canon EOS R3 for a while. We've reported on this a few times, in fact. There have been a lot of changes to the language of the sensor. Apparently, it was all just copy-editing errors more than anything else. thephoblographer.com »

Согласно последним слухам, Canon будет использовать 26-мегапиксельный сенсор для кроп-камер Sony IMX571 в своем предстоящем зеркальном APS-C флагмане и в некоторых беззеркальных камерах. Итак, на данный момент можно предположить, что сенсор Canon 7D Mark III будет разработан Canon, но изготовлен Sony. mx-camera.ru »

The camera gear testing lab DxOMark has just published its review of the Canon 6D Mark II. The conclusion is that the DSLR’s sensor is “very good,” but it trails behind the latest and greatest sensors by both Canon itself and the rival brands Nikon and Sony. DxOMark gave the 6D Mark II sensor an […] petapixel.com »

It doesn’t seem like five minutes since I bought my first-ever DSLR, the Canon 350D. In 2005, this bundle of plastic and electronics made digital photography accessible to the masses and the 350D travelled the world with me, never missing a beat and taking some great photos along the way. digitalrev.com »

Kazuhiro Morimoto of Canon will be talking at IEEE Sensors 2024, about SPAD sensors (single photon avalanche diode) sensors. These are atypically used for time of flight measurements and other light sensitive applications.
I think that when photographers scoff at Leica, they do nothing but look at the specs. But if you're buying a Leica, you're not necessarily doing that. Leica cameras surely do things specs-wise that a bunch of other brands don't.

Manufacturing silicon is patently not required in order to make cameras — anyone can put together a pinhole model — however, the wider point is more pertinent. To be a competitive, global, manufacturer, do you need to make the sensors that actually go into camera bodies? The History of Camera Manufacturing The camera manufacturing business […]
Canon has filed a patent for a new shutter-like barrier mechanism that appears designed to protect the shutter and image sensor of its mirrorless cameras when a lens is removed, ensuring that no dust or debris can enter and cause damage.
A mechanical engineer has developed a camera with what is described as a “curvy” and eyeball-like adaptable imaging sensor that is based on the Japanese art of cutting and folding paper (kirigami) that he claims could improve the quality of some types of cameras.
