Recently, Canon has introduced a brand new sensor that may change the history of the camera industry. It is a 410 Megapixel 35mm CMOS sensor that supports the world's first full frame.
This sensor supports resolution recording up to 24K which is 24,592 x 16,704 or 12x the resolution of 8K. This sensor is made possible by redesigning the circuit pattern and also developing a back-illuminated stacked formation where the pixel segments and signal processing segments are stacked. This sensor can record 8 images per second with a resolution through the ability to readout speed of 3,280 megapixels.
Canon has also developed a monochrome version of the sensor for use in low-light situations. However, this sensor is limited to 100 Megapixels with video recording limited to only 24 frames per second. These sensors are also said to not be used in ordinary consumer cameras. Instead, they are only for closed-circuit camera use, medical and other industrial-level uses.
