Thank you Canon!
Time to start saving for an upgrade to 8x10 and the price of the sensor!
Canon develops world's largest CMOS sensor
PS: The article has an small error: "the sensor is capable of capturing images in one one-hundredth the amount of light required by a professional-model digital SLR camera." That should read "one-hundredth the amount of light intensity..."Canon has announced it has developed the world's largest CMOS sensor measuring 202 x 205mm. Approximately 40 times the size of Canon's largest commercial CMOS sensor, it captures images with 1/100th the amount of light required by an SLR camera. Its advanced circuitry allows video recording at 60 frames per second with 0.3 lux illumination that according to the company is roughly one-half the brightness of a moonlit night. There is currently no information about the sensor's resolution. This follows last week's development announcement of Canon's 120 megapixel 29.2 x 20.2mm APS-H CMOS sensor.
PPS: I had a major error: it is an 8x8 inch sensor, not 12x12!
