Canon Creates 120 Megapixel APS-H Sensor

Well, Canon has announced an APS-H (their 1.3x crop sensor used in the 1D series) with a jaw-dropping 120 megapixels. And, if that wasn’t showing off enough, they say it can have the data pulled off it at a rate of 9.5 frames a second. Double-yowza. As for when this’ll be economically feasbile commercially, who knows, a lot of websites are saying we won’t see it in our lifetimes, but obviously Moore’s Law suggests something closer to 3 years from now before it even becomes viable commercially. But, whatever, Canon’s pulled it off now, whether they ever sell it, and that’s quite an accomplishment in its own right. Bravo, big red.
