Choosing the right charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor is an important decision. While some features of a given sensor may make it optimal for use in one application, this same sensor may be less ...

Although introduced yesterday, I’ve held off writing this blog entry until I think I understand what’s happening in Fujifilm’s new Super CCD EXR image sensor, which touts high dynamic range (HDR).

When snapping digital photos with our cameras and phones, it’s easy to forget what’s actually happening inside to get the light from your subject into the camera, and then up on its way to Instagram.

At the high end of the digital still-imaging market, a few companies are developing high-resolution CCD sensors with complexities of 14 million to over 81 million pixels. These sensors serve in ...

It’s a bit of a truism that bigger sensors lead to better pictures when it comes to photography. Of course everyone who isn’t a photographer knows that moar megapixles is moar better. So, when ...

Digital imaging innovators Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics today for their groundbreaking work on the first digital image sensor, the CCD. The CCD, or charge ...

It is easy to compare basic camera specifications like resolution, frame rate and interface. Comparing imaging performance of cameras like temporal dark noise, quantum efficiency and saturation ...

Here's why camera sensor size beats megapixels for low light photography. Compare 1-inch sensors vs 200MP smartphones, full-frame vs APS-C image quality. Pixabay, fotografyarte The photography world ...
