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.
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.
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.
Peter Noble invented the solid state active pixel in 1966, a concept that is still used in brand new mirrorless cameras today via CMOS sensors. [Read More]
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.
