Canon shows off its latest CMOS sensor tech in new promo video
(Digital Photography Review)

Canon isn´t only in the business of making DSLR, mirrorless and point-and-shoot cameras. It´s also in the business of making the CMOS sensors inside those cameras-arguably the most important component. And in order to showcase what its achieved with its latest lineup of CMOS sensors, Canon USA has created a little promotional video. The video showcases a variety of sensors seen across Canon`s product line, from the extreme low-light full-frame sensor it showed off earlier this year, to more industrialized CMOS sensors made for surveillance and security purposes. The video description from Canon USA: This video showcases Canon variety of sensors. For several decades Canon has been developing and manufacturing advanced CMOS sensors with state-of-the-art technologies for exclusive use in Canon products. These sensors are a critical driving force behind many of our successful product lines, ranging from consumer products all the way up to high-end business and industrial solutions. The video does seem a touch overly dramatic for what it is, and may even come across as a bit cheesy at times (why are they showing new sensor tech inside a Canon EOS 1D that came out in 2001?). Nonetheless, it´s an interesting watch that gives a good overview of the work Canon has been putting into its CMOS sensors in recent years-technology that will hopefully impact the Canon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras of the future.
