Sony has developed a new high speed CMOS sensor that captures images at 60 frames per second compared to the current 30 frames per second. The main advantages is the seamless capture of moving and still images and allowing the ability to play back high-speed video in slow motion. They are also working on a [...]

Here is an interesting article by Tomohiro Otsuki in the April 2006 Issue of Nikkei Electronics Asia on a new CMOS sensor by Fujifilm.

“The Fuji Photo Film Co Ltd of Japan has made a breakthrough with the development of a new complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor by using an organic photoelectric conversion film, and successfully [...]

Will the Foveon 10 megapixel X3 Pro CMOS sensor ever take off? On paper the sensor does sound very impressive with the following information from its specification sheet.
“The Foveon X3® Pro 10M is a 1.7 FLM (focal length multiplier)* high-resolution CMOS direct image sensor that incorporates breakthrough Foveon X3 technology. Newly enhanced, the latest version [...]

If you’re new to Digital SLR cameras, then cleaning your digital camera sensor is a scary thought. My first experience is to use the professionals, however considering the frequency, the regularity of dust contaminating the sensor and the cost; it does make sense to do it yourself. Once you’ll learn how to do it, it [...]

Korean sensor manufacturer, Planet82 inc has announced a new high sensitivity image sensor. The Single Carrier Modulation Photo Detector (SMPD) uses nanotechnology which allows cameras to take high resolution photos or video in near darkness or extremely low light.
Planet82 claims the new sensor is 1000 times more sensitive to light than the traditional photo sensors. [...]

Many people think that a full frame sensor is the way to go in digital photography; however there are many disadvantages that are not apparent. If you plan to buy a full frame digital camera, then you have to buy new digital full frame lenses as you cannot use the smaller “digital” lenses currently in [...]

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has announced that it will demonstrate its list of CMOS image sensors including the new 9.0-megapixel digital still camera (DSC) image sensor as well as the LUPA-300 VGA image sensor, the ACM-100 automotive camera module and the 3.0-megapixel camera phone image sensor in Vision 2005. it will be located in Hall 4.0, [...]
