Canon released a batch of "monster level" new sensors on October 19, focusing on ultra-high pixels and ultra strong weak light performance. Two of them have up to 250 million pixels (for monitoring and microscope purposes), while the other two CMOS unit pixels are up to 19 μ m (for astronomical purposes), and the parameters are very exaggerated.

Two CMOS chips with 250 million pixels, the models are LI8020SAC (color) and LI8020SAM (black and white), the number of pixels is up to 19568x12588, and APS-H frame (29.35 * 18.88 mm). As a cost, the unit pixel is compressed to 1.5 μ m. However, the industry has its own expertise. Its number of pixels is 125 times that of 1080P and 30 times that of 4K. Moreover, it can achieve a throughput speed of 1.25 billion pixels per second, and still can take 5 consecutive shots per second.

In order to cope with data pressure, LI8020SAC and LI8020SAM are equipped with the ROI (Region of Interest) function, which can single select images in a certain area to improve the frame rate of images for shooting 8K@24fps 、 4K@30fps 、 1080P@60fps Video (equal to its own magnification, the lower the pixel, the greater the magnification).

The height of its pixels made the Maoists ecstatic. Canon's pre-set official logo uses include: industrial inspection, video shooting, digital archives, wide area surveillance and microscope of flat screen TV, etc

The demonstration video shows its terrible discrimination. The 15 times magnification of the monitoring video can still achieve very strong discrimination, and the microscopic magnification of pixels can be seen when shooting from a normal distance.

LI3030SAM

The light of 250 million pixels completely covers the LI3030SAM (monochrome) and LI3030SAI (color/near-infrared) full width sensors released at the same time, but they are still exaggerated. With a unit pixel size of 19 μ m, the total resolution is only 2160x1280, about 2.76 million pixels. They can provide very high signal-to-noise ratio for extremely weak light scenes such as astronomical observation. In contrast, the largest CMOS in mobile phones, IMX700， The unit pixel is 1.22 μ m, four in one is 2.44 μ m. Canon claims that LI3030SAM (monochrome) can shoot video in an environment with light as low as 0.0005lux, and its sensitivity in near-infrared band is three times that of the previous generation.
