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.
