Canon develops world's first 120 megapixel APS-H CMOS sensor: Digital Photography Review



Huge turning point in the industry right here

The question is how many computers need to be linked together to work the RAW file.

Once upon a time.........

Big pixels made better pictures. Nobody cared. They wanted more pixels in the same space. Pity.

As for how many computers..........I routinely work on 150mb TIFF files on an ancient Dell computer.

Nah, us LF shooters mess with files approaching 500mp all the time, no big deal.

so this thing is 13280 x 9184 and canon developed a way for the backend bandwidth to move the captures through the pipes at 9.5 FPS

gotta wonder -- with this if it may be possible to only activate every other pixel on every other shot so that each neighbor pixel is waiting ready and more importantly cooler for the next shot thereby resulting in less noise, also allowing two pixels for each microlens. You also might theoretically be able to bump the FPS up to 15-17 if you could have a shutter that would keep up?

At the 25 to 30 megapixel range you are getting past the resolving power of most lenses available on the market today so no real need to keep uping the megapixels on 35mm sized frames.

13280/2= 6640 x 9184/2=4592 which still equals a 30 megapixel image.

Hrm, if this is the chip I think it is I may have collaborated on the circuitry. It's tough to tell though, because of the code names of the projects and the secrecy in the industry.
