Sony Sees the Big Picture

The image sensors in most digital cameras are typically just a few millimetres in size, which is one of the reasons some old film camera hands (i.e. me) get confused when comparing digital and 35mm SLR camera lenses. Well, now Sony may have solved the problem I think with news of a new image sensor the size of a 35mm film frame. It is due to go into production this year, it packs in an impressive 24.8 megapixels and it is capable of capturing up to 6.3 images per second. It’s early days though, so there’s no model numbers or prices but it will almost certainly appear first on high-end cameras and eventually filter down to more consumer oriented models.
