Canon has decided to withdraw the war of megapixels to a whole new level. Recently the company introduced the 250-megapixel sensor APS-H CMOS. Thus the manufacturer has set a world record for the resolution of the sensor — 19580×12600 pixels. The photographer will be able to see the writing on the wing of a plane flying at 18 kilometres away, according to representatives of the company.

Canon has decided to withdraw the war of megapixels to a whole new level. Recently the company introduced the 250-megapixel sensor APS-H CMOS. Thus the manufacturer has set a world record for the resolution of the sensor — 19580×12600 pixels. The photographer will be able to see the writing on the wing of a plane flying at 18 kilometres away, according to representatives of the company.

For such a large number of pixels on the sensor are needed and increased the speed signal reading. In the novelty it reaches 1.25 billion pixels per second. But despite its high pixel density, sensor has good noise performance, Canon claims.

Video is recorded at a really high resolution — 30 times sharper than 4K. But it must be paid to the number of frames per second 5.

of Course, such a sensor is unlikely to be useful to a wide range of consumers. But because his main fields of application will be specialized devices for observation and prevention of crimes, tools for ultra-precise measurement and other industrial equipment.
