Megapixels are not the sole determinant of camera quality, whether in smartphones, professional SLRs, or mirrorless models. However, they are essential, and in certain situations, a higher quantity is necessary. Greater resolution provides enhanced flexibility during post-production, allowing for more extensive reframing and adjustments of images. Brands such as Sony and Canon have consistently launched high-resolution cameras within the full-frame category. Recently, Canon has revealed the development of a CMOS camera sensor boasting an impressive 410 megapixels, which it asserts is the highest pixel count ever attained in a 35mm full-frame sensor.

Here's all you need to know about the brand-new Canon 410-megapixel 35mm sensor

Canon has clearly defined a particular application for its sensor, emphasizing its suitability for scenarios that require exceptional resolution, such as in surveillance and medical fields. The sensor boasts an impressive 410 megapixels, translating to a remarkable 24K resolution, which is 198 times the resolution of full HD and 12 times that of 8K. These statistics are truly astonishing, and those familiar with resolution concepts will find them particularly impressive.

In principle, users should be able to crop any section of the image produced by this 410-megapixel sensor while still retaining a high level of detail. Canon also asserts that the sensor can achieve a rapid readout speed ranging from 30 to 80 megapixels per second, enabling video capture at 8 frames per second. Furthermore, the inclusion of 4-pixel binning technology allows for the combination of four pixels into one, resulting in brighter images. In this mode, the sensor is capable of recording 100-megapixel video at a frame rate of 24 FPS.

When can we expect the sensor to launch, and will it be featured in a mainstream product anytime soon? 

Canon has yet to disclose any details about the potential inclusion of this sensor in a consumer-grade camera. Nevertheless, those interested in experiencing the sensor firsthand may visit the Canon booth at SPIE Photonics West, an optics conference taking place in San Francisco from January 28 to January 30, 2025.
