Canon Single-Shot HDR Sensor
Although Sony seems to be the dominant name in digital imaging now, Canon proves the company can still innovate with a reveal of a radical new sensor that makes capturing high-dynamic range images an easy one-shot affair. Instead of combining multiple images captured with different exposures, this one-inch, 12.6MP sensor is broken up into 736 different regions, which can each be programmed with a custom exposure so everything in frame comes out perfectly lit. It was initially designed for use in more industrial applications like security cameras, but it’s an innovation that would help make photography even more accessible to the average consumer.
