Sony Creates Curved CMOS Sensors That Mimic the Eye - IEEE Spectrum More info about this sensor

Sony patent shows a new curved sensor technology. | sonyalpharumors -2012 Patent

Key feature: "Curved sensors are 1,4 times more sensitive in the center and 2 times more sensitive in the corners."

Can't wait to see some images from this sensor!

Most likely this sensor will be pair with a special fixed lens (Sony RX2 most likely)

The thing I love about sony is that they have no fear when it comes to trying new and crazy idea. Some don't work and some are revolutions.

 

[sscarmack]

No!




haha

 

[Designer]

If they follow though on this it would seem logical that they would have to produce a new line of lenses to work with this sensor.

True to the Sony business model; adopt a different standard from everyone else.

I reckon this is for Leica users that are upset there M lenses are not perfect in the corners on the A7r

 

[photoguy99]

Yeah, definitely. It's totally worth inventing a new way to fabricate chips, in order to please the Leica users.

 

[Braineack]

this makes more sense to me than the new curved tvs.

 

[ConradM]

No other imaging company is innovating like Sony right now.

 

[Nervine]

this makes more sense to me than the new curved tvs.

Agreed.

Can't wait to see photos taken with this sensor.
