The future Canon CMOS sensor promises to revolutionize amateur astrophotography!

It's amazing as demonstrated in this video:

I suppose it is perfect for use with UfocaptureHD

Thanks for info.
Better than EM-CCD? Wow....
I should go to SECURITY　SHOW 2013 that begins today, and get info about when and how much

--------------------
Now I came back from the exhibition. I saw the real one today.
It was truly amazing

They say it is almost equivalent to ISO 150000 of DSRs. It can be used for 1920x1080/30p to 120p.
I thought it is actually far better than other video cameras
including WAT902H2U, DMC-GH3, EOS C300 and even EM-CCD cameras.

But they are saying "any production plan does not exist now, it is in the stage of evaluation of the sensor."

Hi All,

I read about this a while back but hadn't seen the video, fantastic!

It's interesting that plain and simple physics reality is coming back into imaging.
Pixels were getting smaller and smaller to increase pixel count in order to boost sales.
("....my camera's got more pixels than yours....")

Now to get good PERFORMANCE finally a manufacturer has built a sensor with BIG pixels.
19um is nearly 16 times bigger (area wise) than a consumer dslr device pixel size.
16 times bigger, 16 times more photon capture area, brilliant!

It'll probably cost an absolute FORTUNE , better start saving now!

cheers,
Bill.

Is this the first production model from Canon featuring this sensor?

I didn't notice it posted before on this forum so perhaps this may be of interest.

Perseid meteors captured with Canon ME20F-SH:

It's now relatively old technology, and I guess there must be something even better by now.
