Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
     
Overview
Canon’s Full Frame CMOS Image Sensor provides the ultimate quality for
professional images. The larger size provides more freedom of lens choice and
more creative opportunities.

Canon Full-Frame CMOS Sensor

  • Expanded output for professional image quality, larger print size and takes full advantage of the capabilities of Canon lenses for all serious photographers.
  • Professional Results
    Full-frame sensors are significantly larger than the sensors in most digital SLRs*, and deliver professional results for commercial reproduction in magazines and books, and superb detail in large poster-size prints.
  • Excellent Image Quality
    Industry-leading 14 bit color depth delivers 16,384 tone levels per pixel to create stunningly detailed, large scale prints.
  • Full Lens Utilization
    The Canon Full Frame CMOS sensor is the same size as a traditional piece of 35mm film — the size that Canon interchangeable lens systems have been based around for over 50 years. Conversion factors are a thing of the past and a wide angle lens is just that, wide angle…edge to edge with complete coverage.
  • The Canon Full-Frame CMOS Sensor is designed and engineered by Canon exclusively for Canon digital cameras.
  • *Canon's full-frame CMOS sensors are 24x36mm in size, the same size as a 35mm film negative or transparency. Most of today's digital SLRs use a much smaller sensor, typically around 15x22mm in size.
