Aardig wat 'Rumour' rond de aanstaande 50 Mp sensor
Een sensor met Sony's EXMOR technologie en Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF
'2 geloven op een kussen, daar slaapt de duivel tussen' zei mijn moeder altijd'.

SAR/REPORT:
Steve from CanonWatch reports about a possible “unexpected” partnership between Sony and Canon:
In other words, and according to the source, Canon and Sony will agree on a patent exchange to produce a 53MP sensor for Canon’s upcoming high resolution DSLRs. This sensor would keep the Exmor technology, and feature Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF. The best of both worlds someone may say. Sony would still sell sensors to Nikon, but without the Dual Pixel AF (it is for sure not a problem for Sony to mass-produce slightly different lines of sensors).

I havent heard about such a partnership from my sources. But I think that this partnership would certainly make sense for both manufacturers to save some costs. Something necessary if you know the system camera market is shrinking dramatically (Source: Cipa on 43rumors).

It’s months that we talk about Canon and Sony being ready to launch a 50 megapixel Full Frame cameras. There is even some weird rumor that the Canon will use the Sony 50MP sensor. And now we got first image of the new Canon 5Ds camera which uses that 50.6MP full-size CMOS sensor! From Digicameinfo via Canonwatch (full specs here).

The news matters because:
1) I got that kind of CanonSony 50 MP rumors from my sources. So it’s highly likely that if the Canon rumor is correct than also the Sony High Megapixel camera rumors are correct
2) It will be interesting to see if there is indeed a partnership on the Canon-Sony sensor front. And it we have to see what kind of consequences this will have.
3) If it’s a Canon uses the Sony sensor that the specs will be the same for the A7II (specs can be read at Canonwatch.)
4) At that point Sony cannot wait too long to launch the A7rII (or A9) with 50MP sensor!

Now let’s hope I can finally get a release date for the new A7rII (or A9)!!!! Stay tuned on SAR!

SAR note: None of my trusted sources said yet there is a Cnaon-Sony sensor partnership.S o keep it with a grain of salt. So let’s wait for the A7rII to see if there is a partnership or not…

Het lijkt me zeer onwaarschijnlijk. Canon is bezig een nieuwe sensorfabriek te bouwen die in de loop van dit jaar productief zou moeten worden. Een van de redenen voor die nieuwe fabriek is dat ze er sensors met nieuwere en modernere eigen technologie kunnen fabriceren (dunner, minder gevoelig voor temperatuurverhoging) zodat ze de achterstand die ze nu enigszins hebben op de bij Sony winkelende concurrentie kunnen wegwerken. In tegenstelling tot Nikon en een aantal andere fabrikanten verkoopt Canon zelf voldoende camera's om zelf moderne sensors te kunnen vervaardigen voor concurrerende prijzen.
