Resolution of 14.something megapixels seems to be the new standard for digital SLRs, but that’s apt to change with the development of a new Sony image sensor. The CMOS chip boasts resolution of 24.8 megapixels and is the same size as a 35mm film frame, promising better image clarity and no silly conversion formulas to figure out how much zoom you’ll get from a lens.
There’s no word yet on plans to adopt the chips. But with image sensors continually shrinking in point-and-shoot cameras, inevitably at the expense of image quality, here’s hoping more SLR makers will see the benefit of working with full-frame sensors.
