Image Sensor World spotted this new 20.4MP curved sensor from CEA-LETI. It’s a prototype for astronomical applications: “By directly correcting the field curvature in the focal plane, curved detectors help saving about one third of the optics, usually used as field flatteners, and then avoids undesirable distortion effect either in the image and also on […] The post CEA-LETI Presents Full Frame Curved Sensor Prototype appeared first on sonyalpharumors.

French start-up, Curve-One, has announced its first commercially-viable curved image sensor. This is not the first time we’ve heard of curved sensors. In 2014, Sony showed a pair of curved sensors. dpreview.com »

While the idea of a curved CMOS sensor is not new, all companies to this point have only developed them as an in-house proposal project and not as a finished, commercially-ready finished product. That has changed thanks to startup, Curve-One. petapixel.com »

It's a great day for innovative patent news. Earlier today, we told you about a Nikon patent for a lens that was designed to work with a full-frame curved sensor camera. But that might not be the most innovative curved sensor patent you'll hear about today. dpreview.com »

Microsoft has become the latest company to show its hand in the race to gain the image quality benefits of curved sensors. Its Project Vermont has developed a method for bending conventionally made silicon sensors into more uniformly-curved shapes. dpreview.com »

Canon continues to roll out the curved sensor patents. This one gives more information on how to control the adjustable curvature in previous patents. Patent publication number 2016-213571 (Google Translated) Release date 2016. canonrumors.com »

Curved sensor mania first took over the blogosphere back in 2014 thanks to Sony and their curved creation. But while that sensor never really came to anything worthwhile—although it was used in a “camera”—two Canon patents are sparking interest in this technology once again. petapixel.com »

Another patent showing a curved sensor design from Canon has appeared. A previous patent showed how a curved sensor could help reduce vignetting. This patent shows how to electronically bend the sensor. canonrumors.com »

A new patent suggests Canon’s engineers might be working on a curved sensor design to reduce vignetting. Japanese blog Egami reports on a patent that was released on the 24th of November and describes an image sensor design with a flat central portion, where light fall-off from the lens is not much of an issue, and curved edges, where fall-off is generally more noticeable. dpreview.com »

An Asian Youtuber accidentally published his Sony A1II review prematurely. The video has since been deemed to be removed, but here are some screengrabs and a few notes from the video: 1) Stabilization The Soy A1II will be the first camera with 8 stops stabilization + 8.
Hi folks. I have big doubts that the Sony A1II will support the CFexpress Type A1 4. 0 standard. The original (1 month old) rumor that hinted at this possibility has not been confirmed by any leaks I’ve gotten, nor by any trusted sources.
Ordinary Filmmaker added some more new details and I now completed the list between my specs and his smaller additions: Sony A1II: 50MP sensor AI tracking and human pose estimation with improved AI processing chip 8k 24/25p, 30fps 4k 24/25, 30, 50/60, 100/120 fps in 10 bit 30fps in continuous with AE/AF 9.44 million dot…
Tomorrow Sony will announce the new Sony A1II and 28-70mm f/2. 0 GM lens. On paper, we know exactly what to expect: The Sony A1II is the Sony A1 wrapped in the new A9III body and with a new AI Chip.
I just got the full specs of the lens-…Thanks source ;) Sony 28-70mm f/2. 0 GM Lens construction: 14 groups and 20 elements Aperture blades: 11 Minimum focus distance: 38cm Maximum magnification ratio: 0.
One of my TRUSTED sources told me something about Ricoh: new Ricoh GRIV camera coming in Q1 2025 new Ricoh GRIV monochrome coming later in 2025 Now, I know this is a Sony website, but I find it interesting that Ricoh is having a huge success in this fixed lens camera market while Sony is…
Yesterday I reported that I “feared” the Sony A1II would be pretty much be a conservative facelift. Overnight two trusted sources (thanks!) confirmed the Sony A1II will indeed have: Same A1 sensor Same 30fps as the predecessor Same 8k30p as the predecessor But there may be some good news: According to one source, the price…
