Canon’s been going full-on with the SPAD sensor development. In May 2021, they announced a big breakthrough. They had created a 1-megapixel Single Photon Avalanche Detection (SPAD) sensor. By December, they’d upped it to 3.2-megapixels.
In April of this year, the company announced the development of the Canon MS-500. This was to be the first camera to contain their new sensor. Now, it’s officially been announced.
Canon has announced the development of the Canon MS-500, the world’s first ultra-high-sensitivity interchangeable lens camera with a Single Photon Avalanche Diode sensor. Canon announced its first 1-megapixel SPAD sensor in May 2021. By the end of the year, they’d upped the resolution to 3.2-megapixels. This might not sound like a lot, but the original 1-megapixel sensor was already the world’s highest-resolution SPAD sensor up until then.
Now, that 3.2-megapixel sensor will reside inside the new Canon MS-500, offering ultra-low-light sensitivity with almost no noise whatsoever. This camera can literally see in the dark and produce fantastic imagery in full colour. Don’t get too excited yet, though. This isn’t a camera for the likes of us… Yet. Right now, its intended purpose is monitoring.
