New Sony Sensor Technology May Help Solve Problems with P&S Cameras
"http://tinyurl.com/sonyexmor"
This sensor may help solve one of the biggest problems with small sensor P&S digital cameras, the poor results in low light situations. No reason they could not extend this to larger D-SLR sensors as well, though with larger pixels there's less of an advantage to having the wiring underneath since the wiring represents a much lower proportion of the total area. Canon's lead over Nikon in large sensors, while still significant, has shrunk now that Nikon has managed to come out with a full frame sensor (though of lower resolution). Now Sony may have some disruptive technology. Hopefully it works better than the Foveon sensors. |

Too late to say "no reason they could not..." "...celebrates the launch of new Cyber-shot, Handycam and ? DSLR models featuring the Exmor R CMOS sensor" http://australia.sony.com.au/SonyTwi...the-prize.html Are the "Exmor R" sensors for still cameras also using the "Clearvid" RGB array with reduced ratio of B&R to G, or as the name suggests is "Clearvid" for Exmor R video cameras, and the still cameras have a more conventional RGBG pattern colour filter? |

Now Sony may have some disruptive technology. with the d3 sensor, it is nikon who has the lead over canon, and nikon's 24 megapixel sensor is not a lower resolution than canon's 21 megapixel sensor. Hopefully it works better than the Foveon sensors. can't be any worse. |

The D3x sensor is way ahead of the Canon 21 mp sensors. The point that it might not be strictly speaking a "Nikon sensor" - so doesn't count - smacks of religious delusion or trolling. |

It's the camera that counts. and that's largely due to the sensor. Nope. Lenses, shutter, computers, batteries, controls, menus. All that counts for more. they'll pick the d3 or d700 because of its high iso performance. And not because of the sensor. the high iso performance is due to the sensor. Only partly. Without the CPU to take care of processing the image the sensor would be just another sensor. Without the code to take the sensor data and turn it into pixels you wouldn't even have an image. this is most apparent with the foveon fanatics, who pick a really ****ty camera only because it has this supposedly magical sensor.
