canon promoting a sensor they are not actually using!! - toni-a - 03-31-2018

canon launched a promotional video of their 120MP aps-h sensor

the problem they stopped aps-h line and they aren't actually using it to my knowledge.
Could it be they are preparing some breakthrough in sensor design they badly need, or they are  just promoting the  sales of  this sensor they are actually selling.
I wonder who is buying such sensors ?

Canon had released a white paper years ago, stating the largest sensor they could manufacture cheaply with their current tech was APS-H sized. Anything larger required a different and much more expensive tech. This might be why the prototype is APS-H, it's cheaper to manufacture.

Sounds more to do with headline news than being useful....that is if it ever sees the real world!

It is for sale, that sensor.
