From the don't-hold-your breath dept...... "Canon claims to have developed a [0]digital camera sensor with a staggering 120-megapixel resolution. The APS-H sensor ��� which is the same type that is used in Canon's professional EOS-1D cameras ��� boasts a ridiculous resolution of 13,280 x 9,184 pixels. The CMOS sensor is so densely packed with pixels that it can capture full HD video on just one-sixtieth of the total surface area. However, don't hold your breath waiting for this baby to arrive in a camera. Canon unveiled a 50-megapixel sensor in 2007, but that's not made it any further than the labs to date." It's probably not going too far out on a limb to say that the any-day-now rumored announcement of an update to the 1D won't include this chip, but such insane resolution opens up a lot of amazing possibilities, from cropping to cheap telephoto to medium and large format substitution. Maybe I should stop fantasizing about owning a full-frame 1D or 5D and redirect my lust towards 120 megapixels. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/360568/canon-unveils-120-megapixel-camera-sensor J.
