Interesting Microsoft patent explains how to stabilize curved sensors!

Share

sensorcurvedOIS

We all know Sony officially stated they have successfully developed a Full Frame curved sensor (article here). But if they will ever release a camera with it is written in the stars yet.

But if you ever wondered how a stabilization system could work on a curved sensor than watch this patent published by Microsoft (details here). Image sensor world reports that:

The main idea is that the curved sensor or lens need to be rotated with respect to each other, rather than shifted like in a regular flat sensor OIS

As simple as that ;)

And it is also possible to design zoom lenses for curved sensors. CA-based Optiz proposes a solution you can see at Image Sensor World.

This is the resolution difference between the Phase One Sony 101 MP and A7rII 42MP sensor!

Brianandcamera created that illustration to show the resolution difference between the new Phase One 101 Megapixel Sony sensor and the rest of the digital world. Brian writes:

I had a bit of trouble wrapping my head around it. I currently shoot on a 24MP body and the difference between their old camera and the new (80 -> 100) was basically my camera. I wanted a frame of reference, so I dug up some filesize information and created the guide below. I grabbed one of the 100MP tiffs and compared the dimensions:
