Advances In CMOS Image Sensors And Associated Processing: Part 1
5/12/2016
New Canon technology has exploited a large 35 mm Full Frame CMOS image sensor with spatial sampling of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V) to acquire a distinctively large photosite of 19 um x 19 um, which enabled development of an HD camera with unprecedented sensitivity.

Boosting Sensitivity
3/29/2016
When purchasing a camera, especially for “light starved” applications, the correct light sensitivity is an important specification to consider. Light sensitivity is more open to user or vendor manipulation, unlike more unambiguous specifications such as the maximum resolution or frame rates at key resolutions.
